[quote=Anonymous]OP- I think some kids do and some don't-- my DS has ADHD and we've lived through some awful meltdowns both in public and at home. I don't think you sound obnoxious-- I have a few friends whose children never threw those fits. They had a lot more fun parenting in those early years. My DS is now nine and still capable of the rare fit-- the difference is that he's able to reflect on "why" and imagine what he could have done instead. Those struggles for emotional self control have helped DS become self aware. I don't really buy that parenting has little role in tantrums or good behavior. We're coming from the other side where parenting played a huge part in heading off or contributing to (before we knew what we were doing) some major meltdowns. While parenting doesn't change a child's core personality and challenges-- good parenting can promote self awareness and coping skills to deal with struggles. [/quote]
