[quote=Anonymous]I've found that if I acknowledge why my toddler is so angry, the tantrum is much, much shorter. For example, if she's screaming in the morning when I wake her up, I'll just say something like, "You're so mad I woke you up too early! You are soooo mad! I know. I feel like that when I have to wake up early too. You're mad. You don't want to wake up early." Then she sniffles for a while and it's over. I taught my DH to do this and he was amazed that it worked. You have to do it in an outraged voice, like it makes you mad, too. I learned it from the guy who wrote "Happiest Toddler on the Block," Harvey Karp.[/quote]
