Tantrums

I started this some time ago and don't now remember where I was going with it. It did give me a bit of a chuckle to find it in my drafts today.

We have all seen this marvelous spoof on sleep advice, right?

Well....

Send your child to their room but never let them cry alone.
Spare the rod and spoil the child but spanking will give them brain damage and permanently impair their emotional health.
A child having a tantrum just really needs a little more attention to feel secure. Giving a tantruming child attention rewards the behavior and they will never stop having tantrums.
A child needs to feel free to explore their emotions in a safe and secure environment. If you give them an opportunity to express their emotions, they will never learn to manage them.
If you discipline a child for throwing a tantrum properly, they won't have them anymore. Children do not have the emotional maturity to stop having tantrums until they reach adolescence.

And above all, be consistent.
