Tantrum

four years old he stood
screaming
in his window 
a nice redfaced tantrum for all the
street to see
nice superman underwear too
his arms were outspread like he would
jump
and his anger
bellowed
silent
behind the glass

Veronica Joseph Date: 7/13/2009 10:09:00 AM usually anger, frustration, end of the day and tiredness got him worked up. THe best thing is to put him in his room and let him cry it out. it was not acceptable to have the rest of the family suffer because one was having a tantrum. Learning to deal with frustration is a valuable lesson, but hard on the parents. I can't tell you how many times I left a full grocery cart because one child or another started throwing a tantrum in the store.When they were calm they could come out Login to Reply

I guess my first question as a parent to be (like 3 or 4 years from now though) is what got him all worked up. the second question is what to do when he gets like this to calm him down, since I get the feeling kryptonite won't do the trick:) Login to Reply
