[quote=Anonymous]My newly turned 8yo still throws tantrums, but he's getting better. He tends to exhibit this behavior when he doesn't get his way or is very tired. We try not to give into this behavior. Otherwise he'll feel that he's rewarded for tantrums. He pretty much never has these in public. It's an at home type of thing. The tantrums are rather short-lived and becoming less frequent. I actually think this is still somewhat normal at this age. He's still testing limits etc. My only advice would be try not to get in reactive mode. Eventually DC will realize that this behavior doesn't have any rewards. If you're concerned about deeper reasons behind the tantrums, try to find out from DC if everything's okay at school etc. [/quote]
