[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi, I’m the original poster. I should have mentioned that the yelling started after the baby hit my husband in the face while husband was quietly sitting next to him during a tantrum to wait it out. Not excusing, but just to say we tried the right way and veered off track. Thanks for the tips! We’ll need to sync up again on the tantrums. [/quote]

With all due respect, his reasons for yelling are irrelevant. When a child is in the midst of a tantrum, they are in their reptile brain. When someone is screaming at them while they are mid-tantrum, that just ups the adrenaline response and makes them further lose control over their body. Once husband starts losing control and yelling then HE is in reptile brain and he needs to give himself a time out. Someone needs to remain calm in order for the child to regulate. If no one is able to do that, then you need to put the child in a safe space and close the door. Bottom line, yelling is going to make it worse every time.[/quote]
