[quote=Anonymous]OP, my 7.5yo doesn't tantrum, at least in the sense of the drama we dealt with throughout the toddler and preschool days. The last really awful tantrums that I can remember were in the first few weeks of K, more than 2 years ago; he had a newish sibling at the time so that might have contributed. The one consistent issue is transitioning away from fun activities - when he was little, dragging him out of a friend's house basically involved hand-to-hand combat. It's tons better now, but he still prolongs the end of playdates and sulks when he has to leave a friend - that's the one area that I wish we could improve. Lately though I see some moodiness and occasional disrespect - nothing horrible, but makes me wonder if we're now on the precipice of tween BS. My son will still hold my hand in public and give me hugs unashamedly... but I wonder how much longer that will last. We may all look back on tantrums as the easy part! [/quote]
