Apparently, when a child hits their head, there is a rhythmic and back-and-forth movement. This movement indirectly provides a self-soothing or calming effect similar to when they are carried and rocked as a baby.

"How to Deal with Temper Tantrums"

1. Understand and accept the child's anger while searching for the cause and solution. For example, the child is throwing a tantrum because they are jealous of the lack of attention given to their sibling. Try to find time for quality time with the child.

2. Stop the child's tantrum by finding distractions. For example, show through our own reaction that we are surprised by something so that the child's attention immediately shifts. For example, point to something in a book or their toy. 3. Avoid physically retaliating during a tantrum, as it may make the child think that such behavior is normal and acceptable.

4. Try to carry or hold the child's hand tightly but gently until their tantrum subsides.
