He didn't throw them all the time but when he did they were pretty hard core. My step daughter had trouble adjusting to pre K last year and would throw fits at school. I really didn't believe it until I seen it with my own eyes and I tried to carry her out of school. I was sore for days afterward because of the fight she put up. My concern was to get her to safety before she hurt herself. I think most kids do test the limits and try to throw fits at some point. I find it very embarrassing when my kids act up in public. Your very lucky that Hazel hasn't had many fits. Keep up the good work mama and be proud of that little girl.

Seeing what will happen if they do it. Will they get what they are crying for? Will you cave to get them quite? Plus they don't know how to adequately express their emotions at this age. We have to take classes for our adoption and that is what I learned from this year's classes.

I still don't know how to handle it. Im not sure there is a right or wrong way too handle that. It is, like you said, mortifying. Everyone is looking at you and judging you. They assume youre a terrible mother and don't know how to parent. I ignore the tantrum as best I can. If my daughter (3) isn't hurting herself or anyone else I ignore the screaming and demands.<br /><br />I have a feeling my son who will be 2 in March will have his moments just like his sister. So youre lucky your daughter has never done that to you.Megan @ Grimm Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17781127868009686113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606390592918082954.post-89585154768116111502013-02-09T06:04:36.315-08:002013-02-09T06:04:36.315-08:00Ha ha both of my girls have had those tantrums.

I took all her toys away and punished her the worst I have ever before, and since. She was 3 at the time. I was also very pregnant and Amos had been out in the field for awhile, so we were all a little worn thin. She hasn't had one that bad since though. Caroline...we do the same that we did with Elizabeth and she is already so much more defiant. I am not sure if you can really blame anything. Kids will be kids. It's when it is the behavior is habitual that we can then blame the parents I wold think though.<br /><br />She will probably throw a fit on your hike. Ha<br /><br />I want to find a place like that. Surely to goodness there is something, though I have never seen mountains around my area of Georgie. Ha haHeather Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11281162173919703327noreply@blogger.com
