Mom in Control

On a recent visit with a teen mom, her year old son began throwing a temper tantrum over a sweet snack he wanted. "I know you want it, but you can't have it," she said calmly. She continued to stay gentle but firm with him as he continued his tantrum and was finally able to distract him with a ball. Dealing with tantrums is a hard issue for all moms, and I was so proud to see how well she put into practice strategies she had learned.
