[quote=Anonymous]I don't ignore. My son is having big emotions--he needs someone to help him learn a healthy way to process and handle it. Ignoring doesn't do that. I'll talk him through it--"You are angry because you can't have cookies before dinner. It's hard when we can't get what we want." And then I'll try to distract--often a change of scenery is best. We'll head outside, or I'll turn on music, or I'll do something super silly like bury myself in a blanket and pretend to be lost. This is what works for my one child. I think you just have to experiment and figure out what works. Ignoring was a disaster in my house. My son would physically harm himself if we weren't helping him to calm down. I wasn't willing to let that happen.[/quote]
