Mother of 2 girlsHonestly, where before I felt like I was in a stand off, now I gently try to help them diffuse their anger by trying to articulate what they're going through. It's like MAGIC. Why didn't I know about this before?? And that just enables us to get through the tantrum in a manageable way.
