[quote=Anonymous]Have you checked out BigLittleFeelings on Insta?  They have a Toddler course that goes through a science-based approach about what works, and seems like it really fits your parenting style (no time outs, working on what will reduce tantrums in the long run, recognizing that feelings are ok, but still enforcing boundaries re behavior, i.e. it's ok to be sad it's bathtime, but you still have to take a bath).  I felt like DH and I were on very different pages with respect to dealing with tantrums - he would view DD as unreasonable for crying about something unreasonable without realizing a 2 year old literally cannot reason.  Now instead of saying "relax," he tells her it's ok she is upset.  I can't say we've noticed fewer tantrums yet since doing the course, but I think sitting down and watching the videos together has been super helpful to get the two of us on the same page, and he now recognizes a lot more about what a toddler's brain actually is capable of.

If he won't read a book, maybe watching a video will work better? Or at least have him follow the Instagram account - I had DH follow for a few weeks and then after an epic tantrum said we could either both read a book, take the course together, or he could suggest a different approach and I would be open to it, and he chose the course and now often comments to me about posts they do.[/quote]
