Distraction and redirection are powerful tools in effective parenting to handle tantrums and conflicts with children. By using distraction techniques, such as redirecting attention to a different topic or activity, parents can prevent full-on conflicts and power struggles. Breaking the negative loops of behavior, like morning anger or tantrums, is possible through simple distractions or redirection. It is crucial to understand that correcting behaviors in unreachable moments is ineffective, and it is better to wait for the right time to address and discuss the issues calmly. Additionally, talking through the day's plan and preparing children for upcoming events can help in managing their expectations and behavior effectively.
