[quote=Anonymous]OP why do you say the tantrums are attention-seeking? I have really struggled with this with my 5 year old. The standard advice to ignore tantrums doesn't work well with him so I am trying to shift my viewpoint and consider that he may not be seeking attention or even seeking a particular outcome, but just is really frustrated or tired or whatever and having trouble expressing it productively. So maybe try different approaches like comforting him, sitting down and talking to him, etc.? I think the standard advice to be consistent in ignoring is only valuable if that particular child will actually stop the tantrum when ignored. Hours of tantrums suggests yours is not doing that. Best of luck to you. [/quote]
