I:0:T How can I be so certain that you can raise your children free of temper tantrums when parenting experts advise for the most part that it's not possible? The first five children I had all threw tantrums when they were babies, but my last eight did not. When my fifth child was fourteen months, I learned what I needed to alter in my parenting style, and within a week or so he was forever free of tantrums.
With each of my last eight children I applied these same techniques, from the time they were born, on. None of them ever threw tantrums. But I'm not by any means one of very few parents who have consistently raised tantrum-free children. I have personally spoken to hundreds of them, and I would think there have been many millions worldwide, over time.
If we should believe parenting experts when they advise us that virtually all kids throw tantrums, how then can we account for the numerous parents who tell us that their kids have never thrown them? Do we assume these parents are lying to us? Or do we assume the theory of tantrum inevitability is faulty? I naturally assume the latter because I'm one of those parents and I know for sure that I'm not lying.
Parents of tantrum-free kids might not typically know exactly what they did different from what the parents of tantrum throwers did. I'm guessing this is because most of them haven't have failures to compare with their successes as I had. I'm guessing, in other words, that typically parents who have tantrum-free children succeed with all of their children, from the very start of their parenting. Somehow they start out on the right track and don't ever follow the typical, faulty tantrum advice. They don't, therefore, have before and after sets of examples to compare like I did, so they aren't able to say what they did to cause the failures and what they changed to create the success.
Despite the fact that many of these parents can't articulate what it was they did that created tantrum-free children, their experience still gives support to my theory. These parents demonstrate that temper-tantrum-free child rearing is very possible for those who discover the right techniques to use. Any parents who've been able to bring up tantrum-free kids are invited to list their experiences on my website's Tantrum Free Club page, so they can join the effort to convince others that tantrum-free childrearing is entirely possible. And any parents who weren't able to raise tantrum-free children are welcome to vent and share their most embarrassing and worst ever stories about temper tantrums on my Most Embarrassing Tantrums webpage.
