[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you everyone. This is OP and the responses are really good advice. For those of you suggesting to walk away, do we just not have him be punished for his actions? His tantrum happened because he didn't want to go to his room. Should I just walk away and let him be in the rec room or wherever he wants and not ground him? I would think that would teach him that if he throws a fit, there's no grounding/punishment (but what do I know - I totally messed this one up) We called a therapist/behaviorist today for an appointment. Hopefully we'll get more good suggestions. [/quote] It's not that you shouldn't punish/have consequences, but that you can't do that effectively while the tantrum is happening. You need to put the fire out first before you can come in with reason and consequences. [/quote]
