[quote=Anonymous]yes, yes, +1000. My 3yo DD has always been like this though. Discipline does not help. We NEVER reward the tantrums - which happen many times a day some days, in public or at home, also often during the night (sort of resembling a night terror but she's pretty awake?). She flails her body, throws herself backward, hits her head, etc. Not rewarding them doesn't seem to matter to DD, which suggests to me that they aren't really a way of her trying to "get her way" but rather something about her personality/temperament/emotional makeup that she can't really control yet. Given that she went from colicky newborn to fussy baby to sensitive, often-crying young toddler to demonic tantrums, I assume this is just how she is. I try to respond by being as even and unruffled as possible. No rises out of me. I also follow through on EVERYTHING I say we will do. It doesn't help necessarily, but I think it at least prevents her from using the tantrums in a more manipulative manner maybe? Or maybe i'm just telling myself that so I don't feel like the worst parent ever ;)[/quote]
