[quote=Anonymous]How old is the one who screams? I have a 3-year-old girl, and this has been her MO for a couple of months. The tiniest thing not going exactly as she imagined it can set her off. What works for us is a hug, and then disengaging until she calms down. If it's a bad tantrum, or she's throwing things, I'll put her in her high chair or in her room to calm down. Sometimes it takes a little while.

Bedtime. Can you come up with an incentive program? This worked with three of my children. I just typed out little slips of paper with "prizes" on them, and every time we had five good nights of getting ready for bed (sticker for each night), the child could choose a prize in the morning. This was my son, so these prizes wouldn't work for you, but they were: Mommy will come to lunch at school, pick a dollar store item, frozen yogurt after school, Mommy will do a science project with you, help cook dinner, visit the comic book store.

The trick is finding things she likes to do!

Also, if the parents and grandparents are in the way, you're going to have to figure out that piece of it, like scheduling goodnight kisses or something.[/quote]
