i have many neices and nephew many that i have helped raise, tantrums happen because parents allow it to happen, and the child feels they will get their way and get attention. it is so annoying to see a child have a tantrum. the best thing to do is too ignore them till they stop. thats what i do with my spoiled niece. she is such a brat,tho i love her lol that she will strip naked in a restaurant & screech till they give her what she wants & my brother gives his princess whatever she wants...

[bushdidit2u911]

yeah! lol

I never had a tantrum.I was a very orderly child.

Very informative. Here in the States we know all about the terrible 2's. I was taken aback by the description of the one hitting her head against the wall.. that is a tantrum.. I think a parent should never ever give in.. my parents didn't. If we ever acted up we were wisked home and punished...lol. Too many parents give in and like the one person posted.. one has to remember who the parent is.. don't let your child take control. When they get older.. it could prove disastrous.

Tantrums. I think its a habit, especially if its ongoing,. Strategic manipulation- a perfect solution- distraction works well, but really punishment is fine- just take away what they really liike. Who is more in control? a parent who walks away and constantly watches over the child- or the ignorant parent who actually loses their kids?

The stages kids go through, tantrums dont last long. As for the public looking upon me, judging me teaching my kids, im likely to say something- go home dads.
