Anger is something that pitta children cannot handle well. Their outbursts can be pretty aggressive. However, when in a good mood, they will endear themselves to you with their sweet and charming activities.

Ayurveda recommends the following to balance the moods of a pitta child.

Taste

• To keep them cool, add fruits and vegetables, like cucumber, watermelon, and apples, to their diet.

• Spicy or hot food is best avoided as it only aggravates their temperaments.

• Not a huge foodie, the pitta child will eat only when it wants to, so don’t force them to eat when they don’t want to.

Touch and smell

• A good rub with coconut oil soothes the pitta child.

• To lighten the mood, use gentle fragrances around the house like lavender, sandalwood, or jasmine.

Sight and colors

• Give them wide, open clutter-free spaces for all their activities.

• Using pastel shades of green, blue, and silver in their surroundings, as well as in their clothing, keeps the pitta child in a happy frame of mind.

Routines

• A silent walk in nature, or even some time alone, soothes them.

• Teach kapha children meditation to stay calm.

• Take competition out of their sporting activities as this stresses them.

The pitta child can be a handful one, but if these tips are kept in mind, their childhood can be an enjoyable experience for all. To know about your child and their dosha, consult a Jiva doctor. Dial 0129-4040404 or click on ‘Speak to a Doctor’ under the CONNECT tab in Jiva Health App.
