A Difficult experience in my childhood before and after editing

 Before 
     
                We are three sisters. I am the middle of them. My elder sister got married and younger sister pursued M.Pharm. When I was 8 years old they were very talented. They were better than me.Now they are jealous of me because I settled very well comparing to them. In my life, I had small difficult experience with my elder sister that was my elder sister have gold, clothes, bentex, and etc. So, always she is doing wrong that is my father has given money for buying clothes to my elder sister because me and my younger sister don't know which one is good/bad. My elder sister buy the good one for her (like quality, high price, good design) bad one for us. Still she don't change for her self. This is difficult experience in my life.


After

         We are three sisters. I am the middle one. My elder sister got married and younger sister pursued M.Pharmacy. When I was 8 years old, they were very talented. They were better than me. Now they are jealous of me because I settle very well compared to them. In my life, I had a difficult experience with my elder sister because she got all the gold, clothes, and bentex. So, she always mistreated us because my father would give her money to buy clothes for us all. Because my younger sister and I didn't know good and bad, my elder sister buy the good ones for herself better quality, high price, better design and inferior ones for us. This was a difficult experience in my life.

Temper Tantrum

1. Role Play with a partner: Having a Temper Tantrum. Then make a chirbit.com recording of it, following the intonation (music) of the podcast voices.
2. http://chirb.it/kmFnsD

          http://chirb.it/LkBGaz

                      

1. Rewrite this list of tips.
1. List the tips in descending order of importance. Compare your list with your classmates.

        

When a preschool child throws a tantrum

Stay within the child's sight but carry on normal activities without talking to him or acknowledging the tantrum.

Acknowledge their feelings

This aligns you with them and sets the stage for him/her to begin to work through his own problems. For example, setting up a chart for positive behaviour they need to work towards helps your child to focus on a positive goal.

Start a clean slate

Once a tantrum is over, the child is entitled to start over with a clean slate. Comfort may be given, but any original demands the child had should not be fulfilled. Otherwise, tantrums will become a way of life.

Stay Strong

If a tantrum does happen you need to be strong. If you are out shopping, for example, leave the shopping basket where it is and take your child out to the car or somewhere quiet until the tantrum is over. They need to see they can't hold you hostage to a situation.

Develop a strategy

Have a clear plan for how you will handle a tantrum for a range of situations, ie; at home, out shopping, playing at friend's houses. If a tantrum then occurs, remember to focus on your plan rather than the tantrum. This will help keep you calm and in control.

Big tantrums often develop from little tantrums

The faster you can intervene or distract your child from a tantrum the better.

Keep a diary

For a few days - when the tantrums happen - note what time of day, what you are doing and what your child is doing, when it happens. If it always happens around dinner, try letting your child have her dinner earlier, giving her a bath before dinner, letting her help you prepare the meal, or having some special time with her at this time of day.

If you are unable to stay near

If you are unable to stay near because you feel yourself losing control and are worried about what you may do, tell your child that you will be leaving for a short time but will be back soon to look after him. Make sure he is safe and have someone else stay with him if you can.

Remind the child of what happened last time they mis-behaved

If your child is old enough to understand, you can remind them of past experiences and the consequences of misbehaving.

Distract your child

Refocus their attention by calmly offering something else to do, see, eat or play with.

1. Alphabetize the points. Again, check with your classmates, for accuracy.

Acknowledge their feelings

This aligns you with them and sets the stage for him/her to begin to work through his own problems. For example, setting up a chart for positive behaviour they need to work towards helps your child to focus on a positive goal.

Big tantrums often develop from little tantrums

The faster you can intervene or distract your child from a tantrum the better.

Develop a strategy

Have a clear plan for how you will handle a tantrum for a range of situations, ie; at home, out shopping, playing at friend's houses. If a tantrum then occurs, remember to focus on your plan rather than the tantrum. This will help keep you calm and in control.

Distract your child

Refocus their attention by calmly offering something.

If you are unable to stay near

If you are unable to stay near because you feel yourself losing control and are worried about what you may do, tell your child that you will be leaving for a short time but will be back soon to look after him. Make sure he is safe and have someone else stay with him if you can.

Keep a diary

For a few days - when the tantrums happen - note what time of day, what you are doing and what your child is doing, when it happens. If it always happens around dinner, try letting your child have her dinner earlier, giving her a bath before dinner, letting her help you prepare the meal, or having some special time with her at this time of day.

Remind the child of what happened last time they mis-behaved

If your child is old enough to understand, you can remind them of past experiences and the consequences of misbehaving.

Start a clean slate

Once a tantrum is over, the child is entitled to start over with a clean slate. Comfort may be given, but any original demands the child had should not be fulfilled. Otherwise, tantrums will become a way of life.

Stay Strong

If a tantrum does happen you need to be strong. If you are out shopping, for example, leave the shopping basket where it is and take your child out to the car or somewhere quiet until the tantrum is over. They need to see they can't hold you hostage to a situation.

When a preschool child throws a tantrum

Stay within the child's sight but carry on normal activities without talking to him or acknowledging the tantrum.
