Tonight, as I put my oldest (3 1/2) in bed after a tantrum, I told her (kind of for myself) that today was a tough day, but tomorrow will be better. Reading your words tonight, I think was God's way of helping me muster the strength to do for her what she needs, not what she wants.

When she was around Janie's age she was having a temper tantrum and she was flailing about on the kitchen floor. My sister just ignored her and she said that after a few minutes my niece became thoughtfully still and stated "This is ridiculous!!!" and got up and went off to play.

We may not have tantrums around here anymore but we still have tempers! :) I tend toward the authoritarian side and I appreciate seeing how to approach these situations with perhaps a little more understanding. Would be interested to see a post on obedience training and teaching self-control sometime.Leah Hnoreply@blogger.com
