My son will be 4 in sept. The problem is
as of lately he becomes very defiant when
we are in public or even in the
neighborhood. When he does not get his
way he will cry, fuss, yell and just throw
a fit. This attitude will usually
continue until we get home and he
continues to now scream at the top of his
lungs, crying hysterically. I have tried
time-outs, taking toys and privileges
away....I find myself loosing my
mind.....I have never felt this helpless
with my child. Once he calms down which
can be anywhere from 10-30 min he tells me
why he was not being a good listener
etc....So he knows that he is misbehaving
and we have talked about why this makes
mommy upset. Can someone please give me
some advice on what I can do for the
crying, whining behavior that continues to
become more frequent and very
embarrassing.

My mom always ignored it. And do you know
what I did after awhile? I shut up!
Don't think that your kid is the first kid
to throw a tantrum over stupidities. You
have to be the adult, and he is the child.
