Today I am going to talk about "Tantrums and tantrums. A book for imperfect moms" by Leticia Jiménez, which will offer us explanations, guidelines and advice to face these parenting situations that sometimes decompensate the confidence and tranquility of parents.
I had this book pending for some time, and finally I was able to spend an afternoon reading it. As expected, I loved it. And I say I expected it because its author, Leticia Jiménez, creator of the Mexican page Criando Creando, has been reading it for ten years and sharing with it learning, and is precisely a mother with a clear, direct and simple vision of parenting but With great wisdom.
In fact, neither the author, nor myself, we are perfect mothers and many times we have told ourselves our mistakes and fears, screams, tantrums of adult and loss of patience. And by recognizing our failures we have been able to learn from them.
This book is that, the experience of an imperfect mother and the way to share everything she has learned from herself and her daughters.
It reminds us that we, adults, also get angry and lose control over even absurd situations (food has stuck, there is a jam ...) and it is more logical to understand that children, who do not have the same experience as us, do so .
The book explains, without asking us to be goddesses who are never wrong, that tantrums are part of the psychic evolution of the child and his personality, as a way to manage frustration and affirm his autonomy as an independent person, but that the way To face them cannot be to ignore them, nor repress them, much less hit the child with a whip or a scream, but to understand and accompany them.
And in addition, it gives us good and practical ideas so that we adults learn to control our reactions of nervousness, impatience and anger and do not download them against children, giving them a good example.
Therefore, I strongly advise you to read "Tantrums and tantrums. A book for imperfect moms" by Leticia Jiménez, whether your children have tantrums as if they are little ones and fear they will introduce themselves, for you will learn a lot about what they are and how to handle them. The book is available in digital format and its price is very accessible, and I assure you that it will help you to handle children's tantrums much better and that we adults have too.
