How to Tame Your Child’s Inner Tiger: Secrets to Fixing Tantrums and Meltdowns is your step-by-step guide to understanding the “why” behind your child’s behavior and learning effective, loving strategies to create lasting change. If you're looking for child behavior help that goes deeper than typical parenting advice, this book is for you.
Unlike generic parenting books that offer one-size-fits-all advice, How to Tame Your Child’s Inner Tiger digs into the real reasons why kids act out. With compassion and insight, this guide helps parents uncover hidden stressors, unspoken needs, and overlooked conditions that can fuel a child’s behavioral issues.
Whether you’re dealing with explosive outbursts, chronic defiance, or daily power struggles, this book offers clear solutions that work. If you're in need of child behavior help that is practical, research-informed, and deeply empathetic, you'll find it here.
This book is divided into seven digestible chapters, each one offering powerful tools and real-world insight to help you understand and transform your child’s behavior.
Chapter 1: Medical Conditions and Other Diagnoses
Sometimes, a child’s behavior isn’t just “bad behavior.” Underlying medical conditions can drastically affect how children respond to the world. This chapter helps parents identify when behavior may have a physical or medical root—and how to get help.
Chapter 2: Basic Needs
Before you can shape behavior, you have to meet your child’s most basic needs. This section covers sleep, nutrition, physical activity, emotional love, and physical safety—all of which play a crucial role in how children manage stress and emotions.
You’ll learn how lack of sleep can mimic ADHD, how poor nutrition leads to emotional instability, and how safety and unconditional love form the foundation of self-regulation. It’s essential reading for any parent seeking effective child behavior help.
Chapter 3: Daily Routines
Chaos breeds more chaos. This chapter helps you build calming, predictable daily routines that reduce stress and emotional overload. You’ll get real-life examples of schedules that work—and tips on how to adapt them to your family’s unique rhythm.
Chapter 4: Communication Difficulties
Tantrums are often the result of frustration when a child can’t express themselves. This chapter uncovers how limited vocabulary, processing issues, or social struggles can contribute to emotional outbursts—and how to support better communication in any child.
Chapter 5: Overstimulation
In today’s loud, fast-paced world, sensory overload is a real challenge—especially for sensitive children. This section teaches you how to spot signs of overstimulation and create a calmer environment that nurtures emotional balance.
Chapter 6: Dealing with Oppositional Behavior
What looks like defiance is often a cry for connection or control. This chapter gives parents tools to handle oppositional behavior without yelling, threats, or giving in. Learn how to stay calm, set firm boundaries, and model the regulation you want to see in your child.
Chapter 7: What to Do Next
Not every issue will be fixed overnight—but with the right approach, things can improve. The final chapter offers next steps, from working with professionals to building a long-term behavior support plan for your child.
If you’re ready to stop surviving and start thriving, this book is your next step.
