It is very common to see children behave aggressively or get angry if they are unable to find solutions to their problems. They get frustrated and tensed when they face any problem situation. When a child lacks the necessary problem solving skills, he generally tries to solve his problems through verbal and physical abuse.

Thus, it is very important that a child should be taught the necessary skills for problem solving at a very early age. The child should be taught the correct way to muddle through the challenges that are brought about by life.

However, it is also very important to understand that the problem solving skills have nothing to do with math problems or some school assignment. Problem solving skills involves teaching the kids the strategies to solve the emotional problems and to learn the priceless lessons that come along the challenges of life. They should be trained in these skills as early in their life as possible.

At a very young age, the children should be taught how to handle different situations. It is a fact that children are extremely prone to temper tantrums. Whenever they find themselves in a tough situation, they get frustrated and start screaming. They have limited self control, so they resort to temper tantrums as an outburst of their anger.

You should make the child know that temper tantrums are not going to help him in any way. Find out the reason behind his behavior. Perhaps he is not able to find a solution to a problem or he doesn’t even know what the problem is. Wait till the child calms down and then talk to him about it. Help him to find possible solutions to it, other than getting frustrated. Make him know about the possible consequences of his actions. Teach your child to calmly think of all possible solutions and its outcomes whenever he faces a problem and then take an action.
