[quote=Anonymous]In a pre nap time situation, I would have done the same thing, some battles just aren't worth it. My charge is 3 as well and we are slowly entering into tantrum territory, usually over things like the situation you described ( can't have a specific toy/snack/activity). I always give the opportunity for a polite request or an accepted alternative first. If that doesn't help and she goes full swing, I go into robot mode, let her know that when she is done screaming she may come speak to me about what she needs, and then Just leave the room. Sometimes she calms down in minutes because she just wants to be around me, sometimes they last for 30 minutes because she just really needs to scream (she has even found me to tell me she isn't done yelling before). I don't try to stop the yelling, I do try to minimize the physical damage, but above all, I want her to work on figuring out what she needs and communicating it in an acceptable manner. Sometimes what she really needs is just to lose it for a minute![/quote]
