I used the screen to calm down my child #shorts #parentingtips #youtubeshorts #parenting #shorts

Sometimes when our kids are having big emotions or are throwing a tantrum, we get very irritated and we just give them a screen in order to help them calm down. But it's important that we don't do this, because when we give them a screen, we are actually teaching them how to escape their emotions. Rather than acknowledge and feel their emotions. We are stealing them from this opportunity where they can learn how to deal and manage their emotions. So next time, when our toddlers throw a tantrum, what we really need to do is we need to stay calm as a parent, and we need to give them an opportunity to navigate through their feelings, learn how to manage and deal with their emotions. So please, let's not use screen in order to distract our children when they are throwing a tantrum.
