A practice that believes that this is not the case in life, and I have no children: I am a mother of two children, one of them has been 8 years old. With hysteria (not to be confused with the show) strong hugs are very helpful. It is necessary to embrace it tightly so that the child cannot move. Literally a couple of minutes and the hysteria turns into scratches, and the child quiets. With hysteria, the child cannot cope with his emotions, and adults should help him in this. I never understood the moms who in hysteria grabbed the belt. There are more humane and effective ways, but you don’t have to be lazy looking for them.
