Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jen&amp;Khaleb" data-source="post: 198349" data-attributes="member: 13077">Do you give a supper before bed?  What happened when she came out of bed?  When it comes to bed it is better to not say a word, test bsl to be sure, lead them back to bed and walk away.  If you keep doing this several times she will get the message that you aren't going to argue with her or give her any attention.  My son came out of bed last night and I just ignored him and he put himself back to bed.  I think I would try to predict when the tantrums could come and already have the carbs on board to deal with it.  It might mean some higher figures every now and again but it would give you a chance to break the behaviour.  I am a great believer in ignoring bad behaviour and rewarding good behaviour.  It is hard to be a tough parent but it pays off at the end.  Besides Khaleb, I have a 16 yr old who is polite and respectful.  He never speaks back to me but I do not yell at him either.  I can be a bit of a nag with school work and getting him to clean up his room but he's got a bit lazy with teenager brain.When kids are little it is really good to put them in enough fun situations that they don't feel like they are being berated all the time.  Go to the park, play with them and wearing them out makes for good behaviour.  They eat better, sleep better and behave better.  Another good thing to do is not ask your child questions - especially ones that can be answered with NO. Hope this helps.  There are lots of ways to avoid or remove tantrums but you need to find what works for you.  The blood sugar you just have to deal with day to day.</blockquote>
