Supernanny it worked on my kid

Do you ever watch Nanny 911 or Super Nanny? Maybe you should. They have alot of great ideas on how to deal with tantrums.
Time Out is the best I have ever seen. I used it with all 3 of my kids. We called it "Toilet Time". If they misbehaved, they went & sat on the toilet for 10 minutes. When the timer went off, they could get up. If they didn't stay, I would grab them back up, reset the timer & put them back. Nothing they hated more than having to sit in the bathroom for 10 minutes. Worked like a charm.
The first thing I tried was sending them to their rooms. That didn't work very well because they had toys in there. I tried a Time Out chair, but then they could just sit & watch t.v. (my house wasn't very big) so that is how toilet time came to be.
Most of all, don't let yourself get all worked up. Deal with the problem calmly. If you are getting worked up, they are getting even more worked up. Get down on their level, so that you are looking them straight in the eye & explain to them why you are doing what you are doing. When the time out is over, have them apologize & let them know you love them with a big hug & calmly talk about the issue.
I almost forgot, when they leave the time out (they will) before the time is up, you say nothing to them. just grab them up, put them back & reset the timer. It can be pretty hard at first, but if you don't give in, eventually they will. Trust me, it will work. You just have to be more persistent than they are.
If they throw a tantrum in the store because they want something, you better not give in. That will just make it worse the next time, because they know if they throw a tantrum, they will get their way. Grab them up & leave the store immediately. This way, they know they are not getting anything. A few times of this & that nonsence will be done!
Good Luck!

Its incredibly important you reside calm nevertheless and reassure. Then, that's the incredibly important area compliment compliment compliment! (i understand that's greater easy pronounced than completed nevertheless!) Sanctions are constantly a final motel - frequently the tantrum has long gone too some distance and the baby feels they could't backpedal - consequently get them in the previous they flow yet not constantly feasible! i've got used the naughty mat and had precisely the comparable issues you have had - it takes assorted time and endurance to take a seat a pink 2 365 days previous down in an entire paddy!!!! returned it incredibly works superb staying greater effective cool calm and being consistent - if she will't be injury enable her throw the shoes yet then strengthen putting them decrease back together with her as quickly as she's calmed down and completed the step - returned praising whilst she does it. sturdy success!
