A parent of a toddler.
Question 1 of 5
A parent of a toddler asks a nurse at a well-child visit how the child's frequent temper tantrums can best be handled. Which of the following actions should the nurse suggest to the parent?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Ignore the temper tantrums. Ignoring temper tantrums helps prevent reinforcing the behavior by not giving the child attention. This approach teaches the child that tantrums will not result in getting what they want. It also allows the child to learn self-regulation and helps in reducing the frequency of tantrums over time.
Other choices are incorrect because:
A: Telling the child that temper tantrums are not acceptable may escalate the situation and may not effectively address the underlying emotional needs causing the tantrum.
C: Distracting the child may temporarily stop the tantrum, but it does not teach the child how to manage their emotions.
D: Physically restraining the child is not recommended as it can be harmful, escalate the situation, and does not address the root cause of the tantrum.
