[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 487045, member: 1514"] I have used that often with smaller children quite effectively...even infants. I will wail along with them and then tend to stop crying at me after a few minutes to see what I am crying at too. With a toddler or slightly older child who sets into a tantrum either at the home or a store I will use either humor or copy them. I have been known to tell one that they arent trying very hard because I can do a much better job. Maybe they should try harder...should I show they how? At the store I will threaten to get right down on the floor and copy them. That is usually enough to snap them back because they dont want to see a full grown adult laying on the floor next to them screaming along with them. LOL. [/QUOTE]
