I know from personal experience how hard it is to take this theory and put it into practice. The fact of the matter is the odd temper tantrum is normal, and if it is dealt with well, won't turn into a regular occurrence. Many parents overreact and either cave in to the demands, or are too harsh and make the problem worse.If your child is having multiple temper tantrums a day, you need to get help to stop the problem. Frequent temper tantrums are a sign that your child is stuck developmentally

yeah well is it normal for it to happen 10 or more times a day? And...what about people who live in apartment complexes that are having to listen to the blood curling screams of a child who isnt allowed to stay up and play...cause Im pretty sure people want to call the cops. This doesnt help me.

Just a thought:Reciprocating their emotions by expressing their anger back at them... i.e. "Jimmy, your angry! Arrrgh! You feel angry, you do! You do, don't you?" So the child knows that you understand what they are feeling. Then, you give them alternatives through demonstration, distraction, etc.
