[quote=Anonymous]Another book recommendation -- The Whole-Brained Child. It sounds like what this book calls a "downstairs brain" tantrum. As you've no doubt found, engaging rationally in the midst of a downstairs brain tantrum just doesn't work. The best bet is to engage emotionally or be present but not engaged until he's under control and only then try to engage rationally. Once he is calm, whether immediately after or later, you can try some of the techniques from The Explosive Child to understand what the triggers were. [/quote]
