[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 166016, member: 3419"] Hi, and welcome. My son used to be mean to the dogs, and then he'd complain that they'd never come to him. Uh, yeah! :) I explained to him that he was being too rough, and while he disagreed (always in denial) I just showed him how I petted them, and used a tone of voice that wasn't loud, and eventually he caught on. It was a day-to-day training thing, in that respect. He didn't throw them across the room or anything, just pull at tails, etc. so it was very rough but not alarming. I'm not sure exactly what your son is doing that is over the top that way. The tantrums sound kind of normal to me ... At home, I would just make sure there is a safe place away from everyone where he can kick and flail. It would be interesting to see if it continues once no one is watching. That's one way we were able to tell that my son was over the top ... he's scream for hrs in his rm, with-o letting up. Totally beyond normal. It was like he had superhuman powers. Sigh. It sounds like his preschool teacher is calm and professional. I'd keep in touch with-her. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
