Description of technique for dealing with temper tantrums:
Believe it or not...this will keep us calm while confusing our know-it-all children into wanting to listen.

Other suggestions or comments:
Simply count "one" for something the child does..."Two" if it's done again..."Three" if they get that far. Then put them in 'time out' for the time of there age (no talking to them in time out). To easy?...I thought so too. This is found in a book of the same name. I was skeptical!!! I thought my kids were to complicated to be found in any one book. 1-2-3 Magic has a simple answer to any personality no matter how complicated.

You stay cool and calm and in control. No frustration and the satisfaction of being able to see your methods working. WOW!...I couldn't believe it either.
