[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two.  First was pretty even-keeled, never really threw a tantrum except for occasional meltdowns (i.e. crying hard for a minor issue, but nothing more).  My second, totally different.  Colic, demanding baby even as he grew up, basically he's been tantruming from birth.  At about 13 months, he did his first full out lying-down kicking & screaming fit and I was like, whoa kid, this is going to be a long toddlerhood. (He is also more social and affectionate than my first - just *more* everything.)  Given my experience I don't think parenting has any bearing on the *tendency* to tantrum, but may help in terms of handling them/ teaching your child self-regulation, etc.[/quote]

This!  I have one child that throws tantrums and one that does not.  It is their nature.  I don't give in and I don't back down.  Other parents on this thread would probably judge my parenting and say it's my fault, which frustrates me, because I have read the books, I don't give in, and I try to stay calm.  But he has been this way since birth.  I hope it will serve him well in life as he gets older.

I have a friend who is very low key.  Her kids never yell and scream and she has indicated that is how they are at home too.  Her children are also very passive and don't have a lot of personality.  It just is who they are.  My son has a very "animated" personality.[/quote]
