Great review (Reply to this comment)
by juliewh
I really enjoyed your review. My grandson has crying jags (we have him one day a week) and a hug and an understanding word will usually end it. Your child is definitely more difficult to handle. I'm glad you have found this book.
I was one of those kids who threw myself down on the floor and kicked and screamed. I think mine was partially the result of allergies as I have seen programs on TV when a child is subjected to an allergen and they suddenly go into a fit. I had many allergies and I notice even now my mood changes and I feel physically ill-at-ease with certain foods.

Uh huh! (Reply to this comment)

That's my little one too. Her behavior seems to be inherited on her father's side though. Is there a book on that too? LOL
My little one's half brother and her father were very difficult when they were young and I can see those familiar signs creeping up. I have tried everything I could think of to deter certain behavior. (I can't exclude myself, I was a difficult child too!)
One thing that has always concerned me is the leaving a public place on account of your child's behavior. I have read this too and I always thought that it was a major inconvenience and unfair to the rest of the family members, depending on where you might be and what you may be doing.
As the previous commenter said though, you know your child best. I just play it by ear.
Thanks for your excellent opinion!

I think you need to do a book review next!! (Reply to this comment)

My mom could have used this book 30 years ago. Unfortunately, she never learned how to handle my brother, who would make your 3 year old look like an angelic child. (I'm NOT kidding!)

Thanks to all --
Yes, I too realize that I know my children better than any book's author, no matter how many letters come after his name. That's my mantra, and something I tell first-time moms I meet all the time: trust your gut, because you know your kids.
As for the low blood sugar hypothesis: definitely holds true here as well. Hunger and fatigue can definitely contribute to the never-ending-rampages. But they have also happened first thing after breakfast! I like the "hungry" tantrums because they're so much easier to resolve!
I'm glad this info is helpful, it certainly helped me.

Hmmm...sounds like my son (Reply to this comment)
by Dr_Steph,  in Kids & Family
I've noticed from some of your past reviews that it sounds like you are talking about my son. He, too, will ocassionally have these LONG unattended to tantrums. We've suspected low blood sugar at the origins of some of these since he will suddenly pop out of it when he has had something to eat.
Thanks for the useful suggestions! :)

Thank you for a well written review. Becareful not to place too much value on one source, you know your child best.
After raising four kids, I'm glad I didn't have to deal with such temper tantrums as his!
Love 'Em All!
