She's 3, but still having tantrums. Although she's older, when she's upset she's every bit as emotionally primitive as she was as a toddler. (And, brace yourself — it's not unusual for occasional tantrums to pop up through the fours and beyond.) When your child is in full-meltdown mode, don't try to reason with her, no matter how advanced her language skills are. Stay calm, even detached. Raised voices and anger only escalate the situation. If you can, ignore her. If you're in public, try to remove her to your car or some other more private, less overwhelming place. In one important way, handling a tantrum with a 3-year-old is different: Giving in is especially risky at this age because it sets a dangerous precedent — your child is able to remember that pitching a fit can work. For instance, she screams because she doesn't want to pick up her toys so you let it slide, or she flails when she can't have candy in the checkout aisle, so you give in "just this once" to hush her up. If you cave, you teach her that screaming works and that all limits are flexible — probably not the kind of discipline messages you're aiming for. A great prevention technique: Reward your child when you see her handling frustration or disappointment in a mature way. "Wow, I like how you didn't fuss one bit when I asked you to help pick up the toys on the floor before going outside."

Kids can't really express their anger in the most constructive ways possible. Us adults don't throw temper tantrums, per se. But, we do get frustrated over a lot of the same things. First of all, with your three year old, you should work to calm her down and find out the source of the problem. Don't give in to her tantrum and fuel or empower it, but find the source. As I mentioned, kids are throwing these tantrums for al of the same reasons an adult would be frustrated. For example, hunger, tiredness, stress, etc. Calm them down and try to assuage their problems. Also, try to make sure you aren't giving them a pay-off for their behavior. While you want to fix the problem, don't validate their behavior by rewarding them. WHen they;re calm, you can settle the problem.

There are many ways of handling a 3year old. I dealt with my 3year old son but talking to him at his eye level so i would not give him any fear that i am over powering him. Talk to them in a calm tone and ask what happened. Usually when toddler throw temper, its when they are unable to express their feelings out. Never leave the child alone and walk away. And try not to beat the child when they resist back towards your method of talking it out.

Here is an useful article on how to discipline your child (at various ages): http://sg.theasianparent.com/smart-ways-to-discipline-your-child-at-every-age/ For a three-year old, the article suggested: - explaining to your child about what he/she has done wrong - giving time out - removing your child from the situation - withholding privileges (favourity toy, television time etc) for his/her misbehavior and a couple more from my sister-in-law (who currently is handling my three-year old nephew): - gives plenty of praises for good behaviour - ignore whining or sulking behaviour (by not responding at all)

The key is to keep calm and show them why it is wrong, rather than focusing on the 'scolding' aspect of it. I know it can be tough to not be angry and frustrated, but remember that two of you being in that state will do nobody any good.
