Millions of normal, lovable preschoolers throw temper tantrums as their way of coping with frustration or anger, or of telling the world they’re the boss. Tantrums can become less frequent and even be prevented by not giving the performer an audience and by not giving in to his demands. So here are some suggestions to prevent this problem:
How to prevent this problem:
 1*First rule is to teach your child how to handle frustration and anger. Show your child how adults like you can find other ways of coping besides yelling and screaming. Regardless of the situation, teach your child to look at the choices he has to solve his problems instead of getting violent about them.
2* Second rule is to praise, catch your child being good. E.g. praise his asking you to help him put together a complicated puzzle that might otherwise frustrate him. Helping your child handles his frustration and anger calmly helps him feel good about himself. You’ll find him repeating a problem solving technique when he knows he’ll get praised for it.
3* Pay attention to your child when he’s playing appropriately with his toys, so he doesn’t have to resort to inappropriate play to get your attention. In other words, don’t let playtime always mean alone time.
4* If you spot trouble brewing in your child’s play or eating activities, don’t let it simmer too long. Show him how to work the toy or the food, and then let him complete the task so he feels good about his ability to let others help.
5* Trying to reason your child out of his tantrum during the tantrum is wasted breath. He doesn’t care. So don’t reason or explain during the tantrum. Any discussion at this time only encourages the tantrum, because it gives him the audience he wants.
6* Losing your cool only encourages your child to keep the heat on, and it shows him that he doesn’t need to learn self-control. So don’t throw a tantrum yourself.
7* Just because your child has a temper tantrum doesn’t mean he’s bad person. Your child will lose respect for him and feel that he didn’t deserve what he wanted anyway. And don’t remind your child of his tantrum later that day. This only gives more attention to the behavior and increases the chances of his having another tantrum.
8* Finally, the most important point to prevent this problem is don’t make your child pay for the tantrum and don’t send him the message that he’s unloved and unwanted just because of his behavior.
How to solve this problem: Do nothing, with, or to your child during his performance. Teach him that a temper tantrum is not the way to get your attention or get his demands met. Never even look his way during this isolation. Though it’s tough to turn away, try to busy yourself in another room of the house or with another activity in public. Despite the power of your child’s screaming and pounding, makes sure you maintain self-control by holding tight to your rule. It’s important for your child to learn that he can’t have everything he wants; he has to learn to be realistic and to give him the boundaries for acceptable and unacceptable behavior. After the fire of a temper tantrum is reduced to smoldering ashes, immediately praise your child for regaining self-control. 

Most children have temper tantrums at some point in the growing up process. Most have tantrums to get their parents attention. Because this is an attention seeking behavior, the worst thing you can do is give your child what he or she is looking for. Instead walk away from her. If she is disturbing other people with her tantrum, pick her up and move her to a more private spot and then ignore her. She will soon learn that tantrums will not get the desired response. And at last, keep in mind that common, periodic crying is not a temper tantrum and needs to be handled differently. Get professional help if your child has more than two or three tantrums per day.
