Temper Tantrums: A Pound Of Prevention And 16 Pounds Of Cure

By Leanna Rae Scott


I:0:T Temper tantrums aren't usually thought of as totally preventable or totally curable. Most parenting advice givers unapologetically advise that temper tantrums are a natural, normal, and highly unavoidable part of raising kids. They will, however give ideas for preventing some of the tantrums by conscientiously avoiding tantrum triggers such as hunger, tiredness, and frustration.

You might want to continue believing that temper tantrums are here to stay, solely because the parenting books have been saying so for generations. If that's what you want, you won't get any backtalk from me. I'll just be quiet about it like I've primarily been doing for thirty-four years while I've been preparing to share my temper tantrum elimination and prevention secrets with you. But if you could open your mind up to the possibilities that temper tantrums are one hundred percent curable as well as preventable, I'd be happy to share my teaching skills and infant anger management abilities with you.

My first five children all threw temper tantrums...my last eight children didn't. My fifth, at 14 months of age, was forever done with throwing temper tantrums in a week or so once I figured out what I should change in the way I parented. Since that time I've persistently and thoroughly tested out my temper tantrum elimination and prevention techniques on my own children, and I've assessed most of the mainstream parenting advice through a forty-year period.

For instance, I was able to learn how to get general, overall cooperation from toddlers, how to easily get out of arguments with kids and teens, and how I should calculate the exact and perfect length of a child's grounding. I've also been able to give complete explanations for why time-outs are an objectionable and difficult childhood discipline method that isn't as good as many others I've worked out.

I share with other parents, all of those parenting skills, plus more. The biggest thing I give, though, is the curative and preventive methods needed to totally eliminate temper tantrums from children's behavioral repertoire.
