The best part? You get to call-in with your questions and comments! Once you visit my BTR station home page, you can sign-up to be reminded about up-coming shows. Rather than boring you with a typical teleclass each month, I will be hosting the show with another nobleMother mom to discuss our topic. Parents can call in and be part of the discussion and hang-out with us on the show or just call in to ask something or add to the discussion.

I’m so sorry I missed your session yesterday. I’ve written an ebook (PDF) called “Temper Tantrum Common Sense Handbook” based on my experiences and those of my personal and Internet friends. It covers how to prevent, stop, and live with tantrums, all subjects I’m sure you discussed.
One thing you may not have mentioned is that allergens can be the tantrum trigger. They can be inhalants (carpeting chemicals, nail polish, pollen, mold, etc.) or ingested (food coloring, dairy, nuts, etc.). Allergies can disrupt a good night’s sleep so the child isn’t rested and can’t always deal with a stressful situation.
Doctors will often look for the external allergens but don’t often check for food allergies or sensitivities.
Sometimes, it’s a tactile sensitivity, such as a seam in a sock, a laundry tag in the back of a shirt, or wool.
Yes, tantrums come in stages, including around the time a child has a 100 or 200 word vocabulary which is good but not necessarily good enough.
There are other reasons, though, and I wish I had been with you to raise them if no one else did.
Good luck.
