[quote=Anonymous]OP I read your followups. Just ignore the tantrums. Tantrums are actually okay. It's okay for them to feel overwhelmed. Hug them and acknowledge how they feel. They also don't like to feel out of control, so talk about what they could do differently next time (kindly). Just keep working through the tantrums and not giving into them. DH and I just repeat to each other that we don't negotiate with terrorists. Some kids do need more encouragement and are harder. My DH has ADHD, but he's channeled it and is very successful. ADHD people actually have incredible focus. My youngest is giving us a run for our money and I can already see he has more of DH's traits, but that just means we'll double down. [/quote]
