For some reason, my 10 year old never entered it. I guess different kids are different.<br /><br />I agree with Kimberly.<br /><br />We used the "dump the kid in the room" routine when the kid threw a tantrum.

Her behavior is most frequently directed at her sister, but occasionally it also comes out with friends.<br /><br />Our strategy is to tell her to calm down or go to bed. We've sent her to bed about it several times. She kicks the walls and screams like a banshee, then eventually she's calm again and we let her get out of bed. One day she actually fell asleep after her fit. Instead of psychological problems, I end up thinking she just needs more sleep because of a growth spurt or something.<br /><br />Good luck, cuz it does suck!Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772653395061228226noreply@blogger.com
