[quote=Anonymous]When it is not in the moment, you can have him practice techniques to use when he feels agitated and the building up of emotions. One that worked with my DC, was closing his eyes and breathing in through his nose and out through his mouth. THe closing of the eyes is important. I also had my son take a step backwards. So, I would say, 'step back, close your eyes and breathe, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1" Practice is key. You can have him stick his tongue to the roof of his mouth while doing the breathing too. Others count seven in,holding for 7 and exhaling for seven. Practice in moments of relative calm,but tell him that is what it is and that is what he should do when he feels a tantrum coming on. You will have to cue him at first, but the idea is for him to recognize it and strt doing it himself. The when he does it, praise praise praise. It works for parents too. :) [/quote]
