My name is Mike Potegal (TantrumDoc). I am a pediatric neuropsychologist at
the University of Minnesota Medical Center in Minneapolis (this is a fancy
way of saying that I evaluate kids of all ages with all sorts of behavior
and school problems.) My particular interest is in tantrums-I and my
research team are trying to learn about how kidıs tantrum behaviors relate
to their feelings. In our current study, we are collecting home videos or
DVDs that show an entire tantrum of a 2 or 3 year old, from beginning to
end. We will pay $75 for videos that are submitted along with a tantrum
calendar and a standard questionnaire about the childıs personality. All
material will remain confidential and used for research purposes only.
Please contact me at poteg001@umn.edu before submitting anything.
I understand that Raising Them is a safe site for parents to discuss their
interests and concerns & that my message is a bit unusual. Thanks for
allowing me to post it. To show my appreciation, & as a regular part of the
study, I will be glad to discuss questions or concerns that people have
about their childrenıs emotional development.
