[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Throwing example: I got her a bike helmet today and it wasn't what she wanted so she threw it across the car.

Tantrum example: She wanted a snack yesterday but I told her no because I was fixing dinner. She had a 10 minute screaming tantrum over it while having a playdate (I took her to her room).

I get so embarrassed when she is like this.

I would let her know that I was returning helmet to store and put bike in the attic.  [b]Three is a bit young to ride a bike[/b] but whatever it is give that she needed the helmet for would be put away for awhile.

As for the snack, I might give in on that as hunger can make kids throw some god-awful tantrums.  [/quote]

Huh? My cousin was riding a two wheeled bike by age 3.  But I agree, tell your DD that helmet is going back to the store and bike is being put away until she can behave appropriately.

As for snack, my 4yo consistently gets hungry around 5pm right when I start making dinner so I usually let her have a very small snack - 5 cashews, a cracker, a piece of cheese, etc.  and she's usually okay with that.[/quote]
