She asked the pediatrician what to do, and he told her to walk away the next time I did that. My mother took his advice, as hard as it was, and it worked. A tantrum is a method of control that children use to get their own way. If we don't respond in any way, no emotion, no anger, and go into another room and then, yes, PRAY! Lord "HELP" me! My son threw a tantrum once in a toy store; he was not too heavy for me to pick up, so I very calmly and matter of factly picked him up and carried him to the car (while kicking and screaming), buckled him in and drove home. His action resulted in an opposite response from what he was trying to get! My children were not strong willed, so I sympathize if these tactics don't work. I think a lot of it is to resist reacting emotionally. God bless you mothers!

I'm going to start praying against this rebellion in her heart. Thanks for your encouragement and exhortation!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08439477051939110126noreply@blogger.com
