AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

My 6 year old daughter has regular temper meltdowns on small small things. No matter how much I try to console her or distract or discipline her it doesn’t work. It feels like she has made it a point to do a tantrum no matter what the situation. How do I calm her down ?

She needs vital education to strengthen and refine it through sports and arts. For refinement give her exposure to good music, classes in singing and art training such as painting. Expose her to soothing colours. She should play some regular sports and do proper physical exercises. But most importantly try to ensure that the atmosphere of the house is quiet and there are no outbursts of anger and excitement.

My niece who is 12 yrs old doesn’t like sharing😥. If she takes her favorite food to school and her friends ask her to share, she doesn’t give or gives a very small piece. If by chance she happens to share a chocolate with girls she doesn’t like, she wants to snatch it away. She is attached to Krishna, and only thing that pacifies her is when we tell her that Krishna likes if she shares what He has given her. She says “I know it’s bad, i know it’s a devil that says this, but I can’t overpower it. It tells me that those girls did bad and said bad things about you, instead of that you shared your things, now you go steal something from them. Or I keep thinking what will I get if I give them”..[conti]
