His knee-jerk reaction is still the tantrum, but he has been stopping himself VERY quickly and choosing one of the other alternatives:
1.Taking a deep breath and pretending to blow a bubble very slowly.
2.Asking for a hug.
3.Taking a break for a full minute and then going back to the task at hand.
4.Simply asking for help. I require him to be very specific about what kind of help he needs.
I told him we can add to the list as he finds more appropriate outlets that work for him.
Great List! Good Job! Great to see that he is responding to what you are teaching him!
Smiles,
