[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 519297, member: 11847"] When V is having a meltdown (specially in public), I find it very helpful to simply repeat the same phrase over and over: " you can have x but you will be fine". It allows me to give a reply without feeding into it. One can't always ignore a tantrum (safety, true distress from the child, etc...), so having a simple answer can help both the parent and the child. In the helmet episode, I would probably have said "wearing a helmet is the rule, no helmet no bike" just once, and then reapeat "you don't want your helmet on, but you will be fine". At home, like others suggested, I find it helpful to send him to his room and tell him once that he can come back out when he is done screaming. I am lucky that he actually does it despite crying, screaming and kicking. As far as the food issue, no advice! I'm still looking for the magic answer. V will also vomit if forced... [/QUOTE]
