Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ignoring the child's behavior is the recommended approach as it takes away the attention and reinforces that tantrums are not an effective way to get what they want. Locking the child in the bedroom or swatting the child only teaches the child to use harsh behavior to get what they want, and giving in to the demands of the child may reinforce the negative behavior.
