[QUOTE="klmno, post: 475005, member: 3699"] I'd tell him the truth. He has to learn to deal with unexpected things and I think we shoot ourselves in the foot (as parents) if we start doing what we know we shouldn't just to avoid meltdowns. Ultimately, the meltdowns will only get worse because even difficult children can figure out they can (and will) manipulate us with their threat of a meltdown- IOW, it drives the stakes higher. Just deal with it now. [/QUOTE]
