Hi,

ohh tegan i know how hard it is when they do that in public you kinda feel helpless.
I personally dont believe in letting my kids have their tantrum,but that is a personl choice that i think my kids should larn to control anger and frustration.My dd tried the tantrum thing on me once when she saw her cousin doing it.but i took her home and gave her the cold shoulder ,when i saw she was trying to make up with me i sat her down and explained to her that is not how we behave when we are bored,angry or dont get the lolly or toy we want,i then told her that if she did it again she will no longer be coming with mummy to the shops.Well she hasnt ever done it again,she does have the odd sook when she wants somethingand i tell her no.But she realises the more she cries the less i buy her stuff,so she has started taking the can i pleeeese have that mum and a smile.lol.befre she would see it and point to it and cry.But i guess everyone has a diffirent way of dealing with it.I also try as much as i can not to take her to places were she will get really bored and tired.I must say though i took her to my antenatal clinic app last week and had to be their for 5 hours!!!! and she was a very good girl she just spent her time looking at everyone and then drawing on some paper.pretty good for a 3yr old i must say!!!!
anyway good luck i hope u can get it under control before bubs arrives.
we all hope they grow out of it,but to be honest i have seen a son of a freind of mine who is 8yrs old having a full tantrum!!!! not a pretty sight i must say.
