Just looking at her directly in the eyes and talking in a calm voice that it's not acceptable usually works. We also give her short time outs or remove her from the situation if it's really bad.<br /><br />@Manda-Nicole Izzy didn't start acting up until she was well into her toddlerdom, probably around 18 months old. <br /><br />@Taylor Hugging and humming, that's a good idea. I'll try that next time and let you know how it goes.<br /><br />@LOVE MELISSA It sounds like we're doing the same thing. So far it's working. Crossing my fingers that it'll keep working.Maryann's Mama Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13682028265953195425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5724536651937890110.post-74317062479311148792011-09-04T11:49:23.564-07:002011-09-04T11:49:23.564-07:00When we are out, we leave if the tantrum is bad.

At home, I ignore her tantrums and sometimes use time out if deemed necessary.LOVE MELISSA:)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17817113883788123693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5724536651937890110.post-87682019481971835592011-09-04T11:08:38.389-07:002011-09-04T11:08:38.389-07:00When my daughter was a tantrum throwing toddler, t...When my daughter was a tantrum throwing toddler, the only thing that worked for me was to hug her and hum. I had to hold tight for as long as it took for her to calm down because she was vicious and mean and she had a powerful left hook. :-DTaylorhttp://taylorcares.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5724536651937890110.post-86571271177562192382011-09-03T16:55:42.547-07:002011-09-03T16:55:42.547-07:00I must be an exception then. :) I've been a mo...I must be an exception then. :) I've been a mother for a little over 8 months now and I've never said that sentance. Sure, I get frustrated and need a break but I never get one unless my husband lets me sleep in an hour or two on his days off. I'm a full time stay at home mom and a full time student :) I've never wished it any other way either. <br /><br />I feel blessed to have such an easy child. She has her moments but when you look at the big picture she is practically a saint!!Amanda Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15768444348591635856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5724536651937890110.post-2228261846811775452011-09-03T14:42:13.417-07:002011-09-03T14:42:13.417-07:00I'm in the same boat! unfortunately I still ha...I'm in the same boat! unfortunately I still have my share of embarrassing outings, but it seems Pipers tantrums are getting better, shorter and less often than a few months ago when she started them. I really am not sure if it's the way i'm disciplining her that is bringing the improvements as much as her just getting older and learning to handle her emotions and speak better. I do try to take her away from distractions/triggers/situations and talk her through the fit until she's calmer and then offer lots of hugs once she does settle after a major fit. Usually she is able to articulate her feelings after a good cry and hug. Hope you find what works for your family =)Anahttp://motherhooddeconstructed.comnoreply@blogger.com
