[quote=Anonymous]My kids both had tantrums like this. Both of them have always been emotional kids, still are as teens. I think you’re doing a good job by staying consistent. A few suggestions: —teach him coping skills when he’s calm. Things like taking a deep breath or grabbing a particular stuffed animal when upset. —don’t think you can’t give consequences at this age. Think natural consequences. Oh dear, if you’re yelling at me about which show to watch, you can’t watch a show until tomorrow. And stick with it, try agin the next day and remind him “remember when we are choosing a show, if you yell and scream then tv goes off. Let’s take a deep breath together.” —consistency is your best friend with this age—don’t do the whole “well okay today you can do this” when yesterday it wasn’t okay. With this type of kid, it’s important to be consistent (which is why they do well in daycare) [/quote]
