When your child is angry, screaming or upset, the first important thing you need to do is to help him stabilize his mind instead of whining, yelling or blaming him. Parents can help children stay calm through some of the measures below.
1. Parents need to keep calm

Instead of yelling, parents should learn to self-regulate their emotions. When your child is upset, remember that this is a great learning opportunity for them, you need to show them how to stay calm.
2. Talk to your child

Instead of resenting your child's anger, try to figure out why he's acting the way he does. Be patient and monitor the situation like an outsider.
3. Use a few stories to teach children
Mothers can use stories as a teaching tool. Young children are drawn to stories, making them one of the most effective parenting tools for most moms.

4. Immerse yourself in stories
Listening to stories is one thing, but actively participating in stories is another. Role-playing a story helps children self-regulate their emotions. By using pretend play, parents gently push their children to feel different emotions.
For example, you could act out a scene where you repeatedly take a toy away from your child. In that situation, your child may feel uncomfortable, even though he or she knows you're just pretending. However, role-playing gives children the opportunity to practice dealing with their frustrations effectively.

6. Let your child listen to a tune that they like
Children will feel happier when they hear the tune they like, this also helps them calm down. Children should listen to soothing music, and do not say anything when the child is swaying to the beat of the music. Ask questions when your child is calm.

8. Direct children to other activities
You can tell a few stories or show your child their favorite TV show if they are scared or worried about something. Or you can let your child play with a toy or participate in a gentle sport activity. Children will be less afraid when participating in these activities.

You should not be impatient when the child is angry, if the child is young, you are the one to soothe and comfort the child.
Young children can't regulate their own emotions, so if you want them to be calm, you have to be calm, even calmer than them.
10. Get rid of guilt in children
We all make mistakes and so can children. Instead of being stubborn, scolding, accept and forgive what happened. This way not only will you feel happier as a parent, but you'll also demonstrate to your child how important it is to recognize flaws in judgment as well as forgive.
We need to learn how to apologize to our children when we misjudge a situation or react too quickly. And children will learn from you too.
11. Communicate openly and honestly with children
Open, honest and developmentally appropriate communication is how we enter the child's world. Therefore, we will understand what children are thinking, how they feel, and at the same time offer appropriate solutions, helping them regain balance and calm before all situations.
12. Take a deep breath
Take a deep breath before reacting in case the child screams or shows anger. Doing so will help activate the parasympathetic nervous system, helping you to calm down. Sit down calmly with your child and tell him you understand. This is simple but very effective in helping children regulate emotions.
