A Lifestyle that could soothe your depressed kid

A Lifestyle that could soothe your depressed kid

Got a Depressed Kid at Home? Is he/ she always moody? Do they often break out into intolerable or rather uncontrollable tantrums?

Are loud cries, stubbornness, stamping on the flour, pulling their own hair common scenes when your toddler loses his/ her anger? I understand all this and am on the same page with you.

Tantrums are horrible to the core and if you don’t deal it right- it is gonna to make the day as bad as hell for you.

What are tantrums?

They are just inconsolable bursts of anger displayed by small toddlers, kids, teenagers and if not treated and controlled at the right age- they could linger on even during adulthood.

So, the simple fact is- you need a solution for this and there are tantrum relief tips for you to try out. I have tried them and found that it does take time to fine tune the child into an acceptable type of behavior.

Will the child listen?

This is the first question that popped up in my mind. But over the years of experience, I realized that- yes the child will listen. You need to create a habit of listening and making them remember that tantrums are not accepted under no circumstances.

Apart from just those tantrum tips that I found, a great lifestyle will help the child to become the child who is pleasant, calm and understanding.

Why should you implement this lifestyle?

As a mother and wife, I always believe that both parents are responsible for looking after their children. In the past, an entire community was a part of raising a child. When reading about tantrums, I often come the common reason that children break into tantrums because they need attention. For that, they create the smallest of frustrations.

I asked my grandmother whether children of the older generation were tantrum freaks too! This is what she had to say: ‘Well, in the olden days, such tantrums never came up as a big issue coz there was always someone to tend to the little child.

A child’s got a problem- and he has faces to look into the matter. But in today’s city life- it is the just the child and parents. If the parents are working, all the worse. Each of them is lost in their own world of survival.

If you don’t tend to them at a young age now, they may feel left out. That sadness is what comes out as anger, desperation, frustration and finally, it leads to depression. I am not saying that you need to give in to a lot of their fussiness, but rather don’t allow them to reach a point where they themselves cannot control their anger.

For example: If your kid needs a toy, and you have not planned to make that purchase- then there are two ways:

• Say ‘No’ (which is what many parents slay onto their kids) and that hurts a lot!
• Next, is talk but in a positive manner. Do not say that you will not buy, but ask why they liked it. Give them choices. Make them think of toys they already have.

Don’t worry, do not mistake this as cheating your child- but rather developing their character. They need to understand that all good things will reach them but when parents are capable of buying them. Instill trust in them.

Have you heard about #Horoscope  ? You must have, but may not have looked into it. Tantrums, messed up relationships with our family all have received an indirect effect from the age old Horoscope. Do take a look at how your zodiac sign is moving. 

The Right Lifestyle

This lifestyle is definitely not a one day process. It takes time and I took years to get my children on the right track. But that patience really paid off. The things that I kept in mind:

Good Sleep

Sleep is one factor that stabilizes the mind and body. Ensure that you maintain a steady sleep timetable for them. It helps in brain development and keeps children at peace.

Good Communication

Ask your children what they like, ask what all they did during the day. I know working couples may not have the time, but I recommend that you spent at least 30 minutes to talk and it would be best to do it before bedtime. That leaves them to sleep in a feel that they are loved and cared for.

Good Food

Now, this is one fact that many parents do not understand. They feed the child with anything that fills the tummy and these may not necessarily be good. Make fruits, raw veggies, meat, eggs, poultry, and fish a part of your daily diet. 

Try new recipes, present it well- but make them have it.

Good food is necessary for smooth skin, good bowel movement and also improvement of the immunity of the person. A bowl of Cheerios or a Nutella Spread may taste good for breakfast- but not enough to match the goodness of milk, egg, fruits and a bowl of oats.

Engage them usefully

The last and most important point. Heard of the saying, ‘An idle mind is a devil’s workshop.’?

Give them games to play, small work to do like help you in tidying the room, and once they are busy – trust me they are the happiest.

Coz they are always near you and plus, they will feel they have really helped you. Of course, do keep a check on their work and teach them new things. Children are totally fascinated by the way adults work so it would be nice to burn that fascination bulb for long.

These are my personal experience. Share your parenting skills too as I think each child is unique and there may be various methods of tackling our tiny tots.
