Tantrum Hell

What the hell happened to my sweet little boy? Now, he just loses it over the most ridiculous things. He dropped his shoe, and you would think the world was ending. Now, it is a combo of not wanting me out of his sight and tantruming. I don't give into the negative behavior, but tonight, I had to just go in my room and close the door while my husband dealt with ds. Any one have any tips that work with tantrums?

No tips but lots of sympathy! We are going through the same thing here. She just has a short fuse and blows over the tiniest thing. I think part of it is that she has a clear idea of what she wants to do or say and can't seem to execute it properly and then gets pissed off. I try really hard not to match her tone and to calmly ask what she's trying to say or do but sometimes I can't help myself and I match her frustration. That only seems to make it worse though. I think this is one of those phases...a right of passage of sorts for all parents to go through. It sounds like you're doing the right thing in not rewarding his behavior with a reaction and sometimes it's best to just step away for a moment.

I dont give in alot and try to give him space when hes mad. If hes super upset i will hold him and explain why he got in trouble or why he cant have candy or a toy etc... if hes mad because hes frusterated i try to talk it through with him. Ill say why are you upset? And try to figure out what made him upset and oossibly distract him grom his previous activity with a new ine. Sometimes when hes just being downright mean he gets a spanking and sent to his room. He will slam the door and then in 5 min knock on it to say hes ready to come out and play or be nicer. :i
