Managing Toddler Meltdowns Children have meltdowns at the most inconvenient times — like during a special holiday meal that happens to be scheduled at your child’s regular nap time. Everyone’s gathered around the table when your little one arches her back and lets out a blood-curdling scream. You know this isn’t a tantrum. Kids react this way when thrust out of their predictable routines into a whirlwind of activity and change. The question is, What’s a parent to do? Here are a few tips for managing meltdowns: Keep calm. Irritation will only make your child more anxious. Take a deep breath and count to 10. Meet immediate needs. Determine what will bring your child comfort, such as food, drink, quiet, rest, a book or toy. Have an escape plan. Sometimes it’s best to remove an exhausted, over-stimulated child from the situation. Call in reinforcements. A second pair of hands is helpful. This person can help you gather your gear, fix a plate of food or just offer a smile and emotional support.
