[quote=Anonymous]One of my three was just like this at that age. I remember very clearly having multiple conversations with our pediatrician about how crazy and violent her tantrums were. He'd told us when she was 2 to expect tantrums and said the general guideline was to put them in their room for 2 minutes if they were 2, 3 minutes if they were 3, etc., until they calmed down, but she was fine as a 2 year old. The first time it happened when she was 3, we fortunately had her annual appointment a week or two later, and I asked if we should be putting her in her in her room for 3 minutes or until she calmed down, which was more like 45 minutes. He laughed and said however long it took.

We literally had to hold the door to her room closed while she yelled and raged. We'd go in when she quieted, and she'd be happy to see us and act like nothing had happened. She was done with all tantrums by 4, and has been pretty much a delightful person to be around ever since. (She's 19 now.) [/quote]
