When Your Child Throws a Tantrum in Public: 4 Steps to Regain Control

28 Feb 2008 09:21 PM

HI, I need some advice. I have a son that will be three years old and he throws these trantrum everyday, all day. I don't know what to do at this point. His temper tantrums are out of control and I have been to doctors in Utah to have him checked for ADHD or ODD and they just tell me that he's to young. He's hyper all day long and i even took sweets away from him when I thought that was causing it.

He will throw his head down and start kicking, throwing objects at people and hit. I spanked his bottom, I have tried to put him in time out and that didn't work. If I spank his bottom; he would litterally laugh at you. My mom is his baby sitter and she like me..we both are ready to go to a nut house because hes driving us crazy with his temper tantrums. He keeps me up til 2am and I have to get up for work in the morning and its rough..I can't even potty train him when he's like this.

I am trying to ignore my son when throwing his tantrums and tonight it actually worked. I just need some advice, I am not getting anywhere with doctors out here in Utah.

Thanks,

Christina from UTAH
