I was watching, maybe Dr. Phil the other day (I cant remember but im pretty sure it was Dr. Phil) where he had a guy on there who mentioned to do practice tantrums with a kid. Have a contest on who can have the best practice tantrum so this way when they really do you can tell them "that wasn't as good as our practice one, lets try again". I think thats how it went, if someone caught that too then correct me if I'm wrong. It was to lessen the severity and longevity of the tantrums. This was for older kids though as the young ones I have here including my son wont understand the practice lol.

They do look at me funny when I start in on the tantrum too but for the most part, unless they are hurting themselves or someone else, I just ignore it.
