[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She may be over-excited playing with her sister or reluctant to do the next step of her morning routine - within seconds she is wildly running and laughing and yelling, and before long it's a full-blown tantrum where she may scream and hit. We've talked to a therapist and are trying to work on it, but it's a lot of work supporting her and teaching her emotion regulation skills and we're both tired and dealing with a lot of responsibilities so it's hard.

Anyway, I am working more now and my husband is working less, so he is willing to step up more. But he is terrible at preventing the tantrums. It's not something I can easily teach him, because it just requires being "on" and watching her emotions and redirecting or addressing them if they start bubbling up. He gets overwhelmed by how quickly it goes from normal to out of control. He's also not good at multitasking, like making breakfast while also watching her.[/quote]
Some of parenting is a skill that can be developed.  Would your DH be willing to take a class?
