There are as many ways to calm a child down, as there are child personalities. In my experience, most children have one or two things that will work for them. Sometimes it's a song sung softly as you cradle them.
Other times, a child just needs to work through it. I remember hours settled outside my son's room, letting him know that I was there, but allowing him to work through it. It's important to remain calm, no matter how your nerves want to go jumping up and down.
It's easy to react first, and then think. But, you don't want to encourage the behavior. If you can catch the tantrum before it becomes full blown, you can often reason with your child (if they're older).
Offer them a way to handle the building emotions, counting to ten, breathing, going off to their room. Sometimes, a parent will just have to let the child calm down. Then, you can talk to them after the tantrum is past.
It's not always easy, but patience and love, as always is the key.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
