[quote=Anonymous]There’s a difference between giving the child any attention at all and “giving in.” I agree you should basically never give in, that’s not a good precedent to set. But I see no difference in frequency and severity of tantrums between kids who have a parent empathize a bit and kids whose parents ignore their distress (because that’s what it is at this age, not manipulation). No, empathizing doesn’t “work” if by work you mean “immediately make them stop and never have a tantrum again”— but by that measure, neither does ignoring.[/quote]
