Mr W's tantrums are getting less and less.
We have zero tolerance for it. First, we warn him, and if he continues, we immediately remove him and then talk about the consequences. He loses his privileges in escalating order.
The turning point was when he was around 11 months old and just went nuts over something when we were on the road. We were going to the bookstore rather than to pick up mom. I had to pull over and talk with him.
He got it then and gets it now. He is SMART enough to understand his feelings and how his outbursts affect those around him. He just needs some self-control.
He likes Ni-Hao Kailan and we point things out on the show that he can learn from. He also likes to play with older kids so we tell him that he has to act like an older kid.
This weekend we had two different parties to go to with lots of challenges and he was on his best behavior until he just crashed at 10 pm. ( We do cut some slack if he is tired or hungry. )
This has been our biggest challenge with him and for the last two months its been a daily, difficult and draining challenge.
