Just don't give in. Never ever reward a tantrum. My little one throws them a lot. I try and give him options especially out in public. Either you can continue to act up and we leave here or you can act right and stay. I always follow thru on the leaving thing.
oh lordy my youngest would have me in tears. Someone on here told me not to let them get to me. Dont let them see your reaction and for sure dont reward or bargain. I put my poker face on and stuck to my guns. Just know it does get better. Hang in there |

My little throws fits over things that are super impossible like he wants to be tiny so he can go down the drain. Yep that's right he wants to go down the drain!!! He will scream and cry and there's no talking to him. Then his brother waits until I finally get him calm and brings it up again! This is my life...

how do you deal with it? tips?? he can either throw his tantrum while i ignore him or he can calm down and get my attention. sometimes he grabs me when i ignore him but he has to eventually calm down.....oh and if he gets really out of hand he'll get slapped. |

my boy is 2 years old. he throws a huge tantrum if his car does not move the way he wants to, or the wheels come off. the tiniest things just tick him off. i ignore him sometimes but yoh its like its getting worse. the other night he woke up around 10 pm and requested for bread. i asked if i should put spread on it and he agreed. when i handed him the bread, am sure the whole neighbourhood woke up. he cried for 2 hours refusing everything i offer him.
thank you for for advice. will try it out!!! |

When my children were little... only 1 ever had a tantrum, that one time.
I stopped everything I was doing...scooped her up... stood her outside and let her finish her tantrum. Then, I said" You good. You got that out of your system. Don't you ever act a fool in my presence again. I said No. After this act out, you will get NOTHING from this store" I followed through with everything I told my children.. I never threatened... I did it. It teaches them that you mean what you say... and say what you mean. I was a 23yrold girl, with 3 kids... I had to get control quickly. |

It teaches them that you mean what you say... and say what you mean. if only my son would let that be a bother. i dont think he cried for attention because he gets a lot i think hes just too damned stubborn. we went to the supermarket and he wanted to be in my hands i told him no and he got into a fit....i told him bye and walked away, he walked off in the other direction. |

You can be in my hands when we get home or tell him when he can have that if he cant now. Now you have to sit in the cart because I cant trust you to stay with me. Love withdrawal should never be a consequence, or abandonment. great advice im gonna try that one |

"you want me to take you outside?" my thought was "no ma'am,because outside there are no witnesses" it fixed my tantrums..... |
