Mum claims she calms her 3-year-old’s tantrums with ‘heart hugs’
ALL parents will know the stress and frustration of dealing with a child who’s having a meltdown, particularly in public.
After dealing with her three-year-old’s outbursts, one mum came up with a solution to calm him down, and says it helps her de-stress as well.
She shared her brilliant tip for diffusing her toddler’s tantrums to Facebook group .
She said: “I just wanted to share a tantrum defusing technique that is working with my almost four-year-old at the moment.”
She called it a ‘heart hug’, and said it helps him calm down by himself as well.
The mum explained: “You ask them to come give you a cuddle, rest their head over your heart and ask them what they hear!
