[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dc was like this at age 3-5. Anything could set them off  once a day. My dc could scream at the top of their lungs for an hour. When we were home it was ok because I put them in their room. But when we were out or on vacation it was a nightmare. But we got through that stage. My dc is smart, lovable, creative, and social. Just part of parenting. My dc is 10 now and fine.[/quote]

Thank you.  Although I don't think I can take another 2 years of this.  But yes, DH and I don't go out much with the kids, don't have friends over, and have never taken DS to a hotel.  We're too scared of what might set him off and cause a tantrum.  If we have a place to go like the car, we can manage.  But if we have to fly somewhere and stay in a hotel, that's not happening.  I wouldn't want to be in the room next to ours if he was having a tantrum.[/quote]

OP - try this - it worked for our HFA kid when a baby.  When DC would start crying, we would immediate switch environments.  So if the tantrum was going on in the house, we would scoop DC up and take him outdoors.  If the tantrum was outdoors, we would switch quickly indoors.  Our pediatrician told us about this.  Worked like a charm.  Perhaps something about changing atmospheres quickly sets of a startle effect which breaks the crying cycle.[/quote]
