[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 682709, member: 20051"] The only way I've ever found effective for dealing with tantrums, and mind you this was with much younger children, was to walk away. I think paying attention to it feeds into it. My friend's daughter was a kind of tantrumer. Meaning that she didn't actually have the full out screaming, kicking tantrums I think of when my kids had them, but she would sob and cry and whine when she didn't get her way. You know, the whole. "It's not fair, you are ruining my life" thing. She was about 10. My friend used to very calmly, no emotion say to her, "We will discuss this later when you are in control of your behavior." and walk away. She always laughed and said, "Don't feed the drama llama."
