My advice for June 30, 2006
A great technique to use with a child who is throwing a fit (gotta love two year-olds) is to ignore the behavior that
the child is displaying. However, do not ignore if the child will hurt themselves (banging head into concrete, etc.). Yes
the fits will become greater, but if you are consistant with this tactic the fits will become less within three days. Children
at this age throw fits becuase they are testing their independece and become frusterated becuase they do not get what they
want.
