Tantrums and behavior problems is something that parents, teachers and health professionals are very concerned about. Sometimes we complain that our child "misbehaves," ignores us, doesn't respect boundaries, or throws a tantrum over almost anything. The goal is not to judge what he does (behavior) but to understand why he does it (root of the problem). Parents and teachers, influenced by the education that we have all received as children, must learn more respectful ways of treating children that move away from punishment, blackmail, and ignoring their demands for attention. Traditionally, the adult, faced with the child's tantrum or bad behavior, tended to criticize and not pay attention to the behavior shown by the minor. Today we know that all "bad behavior" is an S.O.S. aimed at the adult who must decipher to understand what need is not being sufficiently covered. In this book by Rafa Guerrero, a psychotherapist specializing in healthy relationships and behavior problems, we will understand why there are socially well-regarded emotions such as joy and other second-tier emotions such as fear, sadness or anger. Knowing what happens in a child's brain when he is in full tantrum will help us to understand him better and give him what he needs at all times. The truth is that tantrums are normal and the vast majority of children go through this dreaded phase, but parents can reduce the intensity, duration and frequency of tantrums if they know how to manage them properly. In this book we will see some chapters that will help us act before, during and after behavior problems. Knowing the socio-emotional needs of children, their attachment style, self-control capacity, how to establish rules and limits will help us prevent tantrums and strengthen our bond with them.
