The Tantrum Solution: Temper Tantrums Are Optional

By Leanna Rae Scott


I:0:T By saying that temper tantrums are optional, I mean temper tantrums are not a given when raising children. Every potential temper tantrum is preventable-even with ADHD kids. Almost all parent advisers in most parenting books, however, in dispensing their discipline "how to" will tell you that every child throws tantrums.

This is categorically not true. I'm not, mind you, saying these self-designated expert parenting advisers are lying to you, either on purpose or otherwise - what I am saying is they obviously don't know - yet. I was one of the people who naively believed this falsehood for close to ten years of parenting before I was able to clue in and then found a way to personally prove it wrong.

My first five children, starting when they were babies, all threw temper tantrums...my last eight children did not. My fifth kid, when he was only fourteen months old, was totally free of temper tantrums by the time a week or so went by after I had the ability to figure out what I must change in how I was parenting. That was thirty-four years ago. Throughout my remaining active parenting years, I tested out many techniques and theories of infant and child anger management, and came up with many, many insights about tantrums and child behavior to share with others (eg. There are two types of temper tantrums: Type-One and Type-Two temper tantrums. I came up with some very unique infant anger management strategies, as well as temper tantrum prevention techniques and many highly effective discipline techniques, all while parenting children non-stop for forty plus years.

I finally finished raising my children and I completed my bachelor's degree in psychology and women's studies, as well as a Counseling Women Certificate. I've finished writing my first parenting book: MegaMom's Wisdom for Tantrums, The Tantrum Book To End All Tantrums. In the book I tell parents the "secrets" to the total prevention and elimination of temper tantrums. I am now ready to share my secrets for total prevention and total elimination of temper tantrums.

The universality of temper tantrums is an enduring myth. Tantrums are optional. Now parents have the ability to opt in to the temper-tantrum-free lifestyle.
