Try a reward board- put up a sticker board and you two can come up with prizes/rewards. 2 points = play a game with mom; 4 points = extra story at bedtime; 6 points = extra 20 minutes on saturday night watching TV, etc.
Don't take points away but give a point for every 30 minutes (or whatever; every 2 hours, etc) for no tantrum. Keep praising for no tantrums.


She only does it when she is with myself, dh, or her sister but it can happen at places outside the home if we are with her (friend's house, family, etc).
