Restrain

Proper restrain helps to calm a person down. I did that to my younger daughter when she threw her baby tantrum. Restraining her is to hold her hand and legs snuggly tight, not enough to cause any hurt. Holding her for awhile until her assurance that she had calm down tends to subside her tantrum faster than to try reasoning out with her when she is gesturing wildly. Of course the other way is to give in to her demands but that will spoilt her.

I was watching a series show and this teenager was showing restrain anger. The expert tempted him to burst that out by taunting and shoving him. Atlas he burst and retaliate, in which the expert held him down in a bear hugged snuggly, however strong enough not to let him break free. The guy burst into tears and after that all was calm.

Restrain is a great technique but if it fails, the result can be quite oppositely bad. So when one wants to try restrain, make sure that one has the strength to execute it completely else do not attempt.
