[quote=Anonymous]Today, my 3 year old charge started having a tantrum when I accidentally handed him the wrong toy (a stuffed animal that he sleeps with). When I realized what was going on, I calmly explained he could have it when he asked me politely. I'm typically not a "you MUST alway say please" nanny but you certainly won't get anywhere by yelling at me. This turned into a full blown temper tantrum. While dealing with the baby I continued to calmly remind that he needed to be nice, and that I wanted to give him the animal. It was shortly before nap time so I ended up just giving him the animal so he would go to sleep, he need asked for it.

I know that he was tired and that was a contributing factor, and I've also read that they get scared when they lose control of their emotions when they get like that. Every once in a while I don't mind of course, but he has melt downs all the time with his mom as dad, but never with me.

How do you handle your charges tempur tantrums?

Thanks!
