[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Saying no can cause extreme tantrums with some kids. Shreiking and screaming and kicking tantrums. Scary tantrums can occur with the word NO. DC is 3.[/quote] Start with nos at home/in private spaces. It’s easier to ride out tantrums in private. When possible move to a semiprivate space (outdoors/car) before triggering one in public. Be super explicit with her than whining and yelling are unacceptable behaviours in public spaces and you can’t take her out to play of she’s not going to be pleasant and that’s why you’re leaving the playground. And mostly: accept this will take a long time to work through — you’ll still be dealing with nagging and whining and probably some tantruming for a couple more years. I have no idea why we evolved to whine and tantrum; it does not make me as a caregiver want to give my kid what she asks for at all.[/quote]
