No means no in my house. If you throw a fit so be it however if you start hitting or throwing things then you get time out and a talking to.

When my daughter was younger (I`m assuming you mean toddler age child), I`d let her just ride out her tantrum, and when she was finished I`d let her know why I do/said the things I did to upset her. I would let her know that I used to do that too when I was a little girl, and she`d actually get excited and ask what else I did when I was a little girl. Or rather, if I knew that something that I were to do was going to upset her, I`d make a game about it. Like taking her clothes off to take a tubby would be hell, so I`d sing a song and pretend to be a monster while doing it. Or taking grocery trips into town would be a hassle, so I`d pretend we were Diego/Dora and we`d be on an `adventure`. Distraction distraction!

I agree with yo mama. I would tell my son I know he is mad. I am sorry he is mad, but hold firmly to the rules. I understand temper tantrums. Once in a while I get pretty pissed off and need to vent it too!

I ignore my son who is three when he does that.

Id get eye level and tell them they will not act that way and if they continue theyll get a spank. If theyre over 2. And then Id follow through

I`d lower to her level, tell her that I understand her desires. And then I`d tell her `no, you can`t do that right now. i understand that you want to but you can`t.` And then I`d offer something else. `But *we* can do this instead.` I have no problem with my daughter being frustrated for not getting her way.

If it were my child, and they were old enough to know better, I`d give a spanking.
