A fool-proof way to head off and prevent tantrums
This was all DH... when DS starts throwing a tantrum, we both say "It's TAAAAAAANTRUUMM TIIIIIMMME" (said in the "t-shirt time" voice of Pauly D  ) and DS always stops in his tracks and says "No!" and stops throwing the tantrum. I hope this works forever

Re: A fool-proof way to head off and prevent tantrums
LB, I've been reading Happiest Toddler on the Block, a big part of the method is acknowledging that you understand and can relate to the child when they are having a tantrum, but using only short simple phrases.
I think you're doing that, with saying "its tantrum time", acknowledging to your DS that you understand where he's coming from.
I could be totally wrong, but wow so glad you found something to work! I'm watching our cousins grow up, and its scaring me. Perfect sweet babies turned ... toddler

When DD wakes up from her naps, DH grabs her and says OH YEAH! Baby's up! OH YEAH!
I crack up every time!

Re: A fool-proof way to head off and prevent tantrums
LOL that's hilarious
when Jack was younger, he used to go "invisible" when he started crying/tantruming. He'd start and I'd look around saying Oh no, where's Jack...I can't see him. He'd immediately stop crying and start laughing, he thought this was the funniest thing. It worked for a LOOOOOONG time

Funny, I took it as no kid will knowingly do anything a parent wanted so they do the complete opposite

Re: A fool-proof way to head off and prevent tantrums
Enjoy it while you can.... I try something similar with DD, and it just makes the tantrum worse. She's still upset about whatever caused the tantrum, PLUS she's annoyed at me for doing something like that....
