[quote=Anonymous]I clicked on the wrong forum but this thread brought back memories. Mine is 8.5 and until recently I would have told you she didn’t tantrum at that age. But I was going through old videos and apparently some of her tantrums were so insane and irrational that I preserved them for posterity.

Her tantrums included a breadstick being broken in half, the risk of the dog potentially getting dog hair near a toy setup that she had setup in *his* space, and being told she couldn’t open a jar of fancy granola that someone had sent as a gift.

Sometimes I just had to let them play out and she would tantrum herself asleep. From the videos, I’m reminded that my DH would get so reactive and angry during her tantrums that I retired him from being involved- his inability to handle the emotions and sensory overload from those incidents is a big reason that I’ve evolved into the primary parent. He also has ADHD and HFA (diagnosed by a doctor, not me). You might consider that you or DH have your own challenges that make tantrums especially hard for you to tolerate.[/quote]
