I've seen a lot of posts this morning about moms having trouble with a temper-tantrum throwing child. I found this link to Dr. Harvey Karp's technique for how to deal (his book is great, too, btw and goes into more detail):
There's a bit more info HERE (Click on the toddler FAQ)
That pretty much covers the basics. Hang in there, mommas!
Thanks. I have this book and I'm going determined to read it tonight (at least a good portion of it b/c I doubt I'll have time to read the whole thing before bed!). Any techniques to help are greatly appreciated.
Just wanted to add that the book 123 Magic is also great as are the techniques that Supper Nanny uses. But I do think that sometimes we get stuck in a rut and when something stops working for us, we really need to move to something different (at least for a while).

Go directly to Chapter 8 and read it first for immediate help with temper tantrums.
