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 my last eight children I applied these same parenting techniques from their births on, and none of them ever threw tantrums. I'm not claiming, however, to be one of a select few parents to have raised a number of tantrum-free kids. Personally, I've met hundreds of them, and I'm guessing there have been millions and millions of them over all 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.
But even though these parents can't say exactly how they raised tantrum-free kids, they still support my theory. They still show that tantrum-free child rearing is quite possible for parents who somehow manage to come up with the right techniques. Anyone who has raised children free of tantrums is welcome to list those experiences on my Tantrum Free Club webpage so as to help me convince others of the possibilities. And anyone who hasn't raised tantrum-free kids is invited to vent a little and share the worst ever or most embarrassing temper tantrums of their children on my Most Embarrassing Tantrums webpage.
