[QUOTE="AllStressedOut, post: 72729, member: 3837"] I agree with ant'smom about no reaction or a smile from you. I tell ya, difficult child smiles at me when he gets someone new to react to his tantrum. He did this very thing Friday when I had to go pick him up at school. As soon as I was signing him out, I looked at him and he was smiling because he got the nurse to believe he was really upset. I told him "Don't smile at me, I'm not happy with you." Then of course I sent my panic novel email to the nurse & teacher explaining I'm not a mean mommy. But anyways! Back to smiling and staying calm, it really gets their goat! They want a reaction out of you! Youngest difficult child actually behaves better for me in a tantrum situation than husband because husband gets so mad. I've learned to stay calm (most of the time) and this ends it much faster. I still have my days I totally lose it with him, but that happens less often now. [/QUOTE]
