The Tantrum Solution: Temper Tantrums Are Optional

By Leanna Rae Scott


In saying that tantrums are optional, I mean tantrums are not guaranteed in child rearing. Every possible temper tantrum is preventable-even in ADHD kids. Most parent advisers, however, will tell you that virtually 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, as babies all threw tantrums...my last eight children didn't. My fifth baby, when he was just fourteen months old, was entirely free of throwing temper tantrums by about a week after I was able to figure out what I needed to change in my parenting techniques and teaching skills. That was more than thirty-four years ago. During all those years, I consistently, thoroughly, informally studied the reality of managing infant and child anger, coming up with many of my own insights about tantrums to share with other parents (for example, there are two types of tantrums: Type One and Type Two). While parenting children nonstop for more than 40 years, I developed unique strategies for infant anger management strategies, temper tantrum elimination and prevention, and highly effective discipline techniques.

I finally have finished raising my children, I have my bachelor's degree in psychology and women's studies as well as a Counseling Women Certificate completed. I have my first parenting book written, MegaMom's Wisdom for Tantrums: The Tantrum Book to End All Tantrums. In this book I share with parents the secrets to 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.
