In fact, children can often stop a temper tantrum quickly if it doesn't receive any attention, positive or negative. Additionally, over time temper tantrums will be less likely to occur if they are not given attention.

Just ensure that your child is safe and make sure that she doesn't engage in any behaviors that could hurt herself or others.

If your child feels that you value her, she will be more likely to feel she can share her thoughts and feelings with you. The more she can share with you, the stronger your relationship will be. The strength of your relationship with your child is the single most powerful factor in preventing bad behavior.
