[hee, lots of people says most boys are like that m I am starting to agree...

actually, it can be very hard and tiring to stay calm when they throw tantrums. especially if they do it for a long time and keep on with it no matter what I try. -so I did not manage to stay calm 100% of the time either. But what I find works for me is to walk away from the situation first and let him cry. (of course that only can be done at home or where there is some one else to jagar him)


At home ,If I feel myself getting angry I will try to walk away and calm down (surf net, read magazine, drink water, shower etc ). or put him in the naughty corner first, tell him what he did wrong and how long he will be at the naughty corner (usually 5-10 mins ) Then I will go do my things or if there is no one else to keep and eye on him sit where I can keep an eye on him while ignoring him. Every interval I will check if he is ready to calm down or he stays in the naughty corner for another interval.

hi thks for the sharing.

ya, sometime is hard for us to control ourself also. How to expect they know how to control their temper. But sometime keep repeating, feel very frustrate.

Now that my DD is 7, she knows that when Mommy and Daddy are really angry, they may walk away and go do stuff on their own to cool down. This takes a short while usually, then they will be back happier. She also does this from time to time too so sometimes when she is really angry, we leave her alone and she may go to her room to sulk with her bear. Some minutes later, she’ll be back to normal.
