Currently listening to a tantrum... they seem to have escalated of late, over the most ridiculous things.
They really are hilarious. Lots of short sharp screams and thumping of walls... lots of slowing down of words, so she is sure I understand her anger. Oh, I definitely understand, I'm just choosing not to listen!
It usually takes about 5 minutes (sometimes more) before she calms down and is ready to be reasonable.
Our rule is door open, she can come out when she is ready to listen and her behaviour has changed. It seems to work for us.
Funny little souls!
