    How can I help prevent a child from becoming easily upset?
    Hi,

    Actually, my question is in the title.

    I would like to know some tips that help me prevent my child become an easily-upset boy in future.

    Thank you

    No idea what you are wanting to know. What are they upset about, How old are they now

    Does he get upset quickly and easily? Are you always trying to calm him down? Like Fr_Chuck asked, it would help to know how old he is--2 or 8 or 15?

    You must be consistent in what you tell him. For instance, if he is three years old and you promise ice cream, you will have to give ice cream, unless there is a very strong reason why you can't.

    There are many books about how best to parent a new baby, toddler, young child, and an older child. Is there a public library nearby?

    At his age now, be kind but firm and please don't slap him or hit him--or allow anyone else to do that. Also at his age, the easiest thing to do is remove him from problem situations--pick him up and move him somewhere else or substitute a bad thing with a good thing. Always talk to him and tell him stories and read books to him and sit on the floor to play with him.

    :) tell him Santa exists.

    Haha, or just stay quite firm.. if you pamper him too much he'll be surprised when he meets other strict people (school :/)
    Of course pamper him a bit! Just not so much he's spoilt.
