The feelings have everything to do with the tantrum, its what is causing them to behave like that, its our job to teach them how to respond and manage their feelings. I agree just because you feel a certain way does not mean you express you feelings in that manor. I also stated that I agree in how you handle (for the most part) them, I respond the same but instead of being sent to his room we have a calm down area, so I am not quite sure why my answer saddens you.... But ok. All I did was say that I did not like to say I dont tolerate a tantrum due to the defination of it, that does NOT mean that I think its ok for him to act like that.

That is not a reasonable assumption at all.  that I do not tolerate a BEHAVIOR has nothing to do with her feelings.  See thats the problem many people don't know the difference and feel justified behaving badly because of how they feel.  4 kids I have never tolerated any type of this behavior...3 are now adults and we are still extremely close and they know they can talk to me about anything.......thats what I teach my kids.  It would be a much better world if more people understood the difference between feelings and behavior so the rest of us wouldn't have to put up with their fits and outbursts.  There would also be less people assaulted if more kids were taught how to control themselves instead of having parents who just refuse to deal with the tantrums making them think its ok to behave like a banshee when they have a negative or unwanted feeling.  Course we got mothers in other posts who think its acceptable to make everyone else tolerate their childs screaming fits because its what is best for THEIR child so this train of thought doesn't surprise me...sadens me but doesn't surprise me really.

Quoting Danita42:

 Looking back you did say you dont tolerate them in your house, so knowing what the word tolerate means thats why i would assume that.



I am not trying to be rude or anything, i dont care how other people parent their kids (besides abuse in all forms). Do what works for yours, thats how i feel, no judgement here.

Why would you assume that?
