Tantrums

I guess you will have to put her in a car or go to an isolated place. I feel always very self conscious when my kids bother people around me. Have you try to take away privileges? When she come down, just try to tell her stories about a kid who throw tantrum and had to friends, and Santa Clause would not give any present! That kind of story work with my kids, but you have to find a moment when she is receptive. Good luck! Vero

Hello, i am new and i was wondering if i could get any advice on tantrums.

Ignore them!

Kids have limited ways of controlling you and their environment. If they realized that something works they will use it over and over again. Pick up physically your child (even if he kicks and scream) and make sure he understands that tantrum is not an acceptable behavior.

Does your child have more tantrums when he is in a public place?

If you feel that it is not "regular" tantrums but there is a particular something the set him off than you will have to address that specific situation.

I hope it helps,

She doesn't do them in public so much as she does them at home. She literly throws herself on the floor and screams and cries. I have tried very much to ignore her but she doesn't give up unless she gets a rise out of you.

When we are at home i simply put her in her room and tell her not to come out until she stops crying because i don't want to hear her.

But what do i do when she does it in public?
