When my son has Temper Tantrums...

Its a nightmare when we I am at some public place and have to handle that big tantrum...

They are said to be more common in the toddlers and preschoolers.
There are lots of scenarios for tantrums to arise for my son

•When he is unable to get his message across, a breakdown occurs...he'll start shouting screaming etc.
•Sometimes he may not know what he wants -- he could be tired or hungry or just plain bored.
•trying something for the first time -- tying shoes for example, and just can't figure it out.
•He could just be having a bad day,didn't like food at day care or didn't like the activity that was going on.

Several other reasons upset him often...

what best works...
* Ignoring him for a while
* Changing the topic or situation

It gets worse if we yell at him or explain in the middle of his tantrum...after a while it passes...
