[quote=Anonymous]The irony with children like this is that you actually need to be very stern. Routines and predictable consequences will reduce the meltdowns. And you need to understand your own limits better. You get out of the situation before you reach you limit. Always. Since you can't leave the room because of the other children, you tell her the truth and ask her to leave: " I can neither help you nor your siblings when you are screaming. Please go upstairs and calm down, and we will try to resolve this issue later." If she doesn't leave, you carry her upstairs to her room and ask her to stay there. She comes down screaming, you cary her back up. She will eventually stay there. It might take longer with a stubborn child, but it will work. You have to do this BEFORE you are on edge. You are the adult, and the responsibility is on you to know your limits and your buttons. [/quote]
