If the child is hungry and thirsty, give him something to eat and drink. If he is tired, help him to sleep. If the child is angry because of your actions, try to amend them. If the anger of the child is because of some rambling thought, calm him down with sweet talk and lullabies. If the child is angry because he needs something, try to find out his need and fulfill it. When the child becomes normal, tell him that he need not cry and become angry to get something.

Assure him that he has only to ask for the thing, and if the thing is good for him it will be given to him. Also warn him that if he cries and misbehaves in the future, his wishes may not be granted. ‘Ali, The Commander of the Faithful, says: “Beware of anger lest it dominates you and becomes a habit."[^6] Excitable children become angry at the slightest pretext because their nature is not strong.

They are notable to tolerate any undesirable thing and get affected with the slightest disturbance and become angry.
