Temper Tantrums

The next time your child has a tantrum, keep on truckin’. Walk away, turn the corner, and peek around it. Make sure your child can’t see you. There are few things more entertaining than seeing a small child who’s beginning to realize that their fits aren’t exciting enough to get them any extra attention.

IN FACT, As means to ignore their behavior while still keeping calm put a bored look on your face and think to yourself, “Nice tantrum, but I think you are losing your touch. Last time you screamed a lot louder and kicked your feet a lot harder.” Take pride in the fact that their tantrums will get less and less severe the more you ignore 'em (as long as they are safe of course). Remember- just like a fire needs oxygen, a tantrum needs attention to thrive- cut the attention and the tantrum withers away:)
