[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 606980, member: 11791"] Here's an approach... a [I]different[/I] approach. Stop trying to fix the tantrums. Yes, I'm serious. Instead, simplify your life. HUGELY. Take out of your live everything that brings stress, chaos, change, exposure to crowds, expectations for top-level behavior. Yes, that means that you can't take her with you when you go shopping. If you're a single parent, you can't do this without help. You need to see if you can get her to the point where she can cope with life. If bedtime tantrums are "normal" for your home, then... even on a good day, too much is being packed in. If she's wired differently, reducing the overload WILL show impact on behavior, and be a clue as to where to go looking for help. If she's more attachment disordered, these changes will not have an impact, OR will make things worse. In which case, it gives a different direction for you to pursue. [/QUOTE]
