[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son, just turned 3, also has meltdowns like those described.  He can go for 15 minutes up to an hour, screaming, kicking, banging his head on the floor (ouch!), cannot speak or catch his breath.  He almost seems possessed, and it seems entirely out of his control.  At the end of one meltdown, he asked me to help him stop the hiccups, his breathing was so disorganized.

But he doesn't have these meltdowns frequently, sometimes 3 in a week, usually more like 3 in a month.  I've looked up that list, separating a tantrum from a meltdown.  But other versions of that list note that NT children have meltdowns as well as SN children.  My DS doesn't seem like he needs an evaluation to me.  But maybe it would be valuable?[/quote]

OP here---I'm dealing with this 3-4x/day.  All 3yr olds are going to tantrum.  For me, it's the frequency that's making me think there is an issue.  If this was happening a few times a week or a month, I would assume it's normal 3yr old behavior.[/quote]
