[QUOTE="Malika, post: 426441, member: 11227"] Funny thing about tantrums is that they seem not to be inevitable... In an identical situation, I can sometimes "head off" the dreaded outburst by just using a different tone of voice... For example if I sound very lightweight and calm, J will often respond with equal calm. Or if I get the right tone of authorative firmness, he will also accept things without a fight. Talk about walking on eggshells :-) What seems to set him off particularly is my getting annoyed and impatient... He has therefore clearly been sent to help my spiritual development :-) I'm not even sure it's transitions that he objects to so much as just not being able to do what he wants - eg play rather than go home to boring bath and bed...
