[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Np here.  Your response in 2212 makes me think he is a regular 3yo.  Of course he doesn't realize or care whatvothers think.  He just wants his way.  Read123 magic or other discipline books.  Boys especially get upset.  Normal 3yo behavior, you just have to learn to react properly.

Who has been watching him during the day from 18 months until now?   Who was watching him before age 18 months?  What was their or your reaction to tantrums and crying?[/quote]

I'd love for this to be normal 3yo behavior that he will eventually outgrow.  From 3mo-18mo, he was with an in home family daycare provider.  We sold our house when he was around 18mo and he transitioned into the center based preschool that he's currently in.  From 3mo-18mo, there weren't tantrums.  Last year, the preschool did what they did today--just let him scream it out.  But today, he hurt another child and had to be removed from the classroom.  At home, we've removed the door from his bedroom and there is a baby gate across the opening.  He cannot open the gate.  When his tantrums start, he is first given a timeout.  If he can get himself together, after 3 min, he can rejoin the family.  If he cannot and the tantrum is escalating, he is taken to his room.  I sit him down on his bed and tell him why he is going to his room.  Then I walk out of the room and shut the gate.  I stay upstairs with him but in a different room.  I check on him every 5 min or so.  When he's in his room, he doesn't throw anything.  He just sits on the floor by the gate and screams and kicks the floor.[/quote]
