As she
climbed out to open her trunk, she heard the whine of a cranky toddler and the
frustrated muttering of weary parents.
"If
you don't stop that right this minute, you won't get anything at all. I mean
it, Timothy. We've had just about enough. Now get moving."
The
child's response to that command was to go limp, sliding in a boneless heap onto
the parking lot as his mother tugged uselessly at his watery arms. Ana bit her
lip as it curved, but it was obvious the young parents didn't see the humor of it.
Their arms were full of packages, and their faces were thunderous.
Timothy,
Ana thought, was about to get a tanning-though it was unlikely to make him more
cooperative. Daddy shoved his bags at Mommy and, mouth grim, bent down.

Your reaction to a tantrum will drastically influence your
child’s reaction
As parents and adults, we are not perfect. And sometimes
when our toddler has a tantrum, we can react inappropriately ourselves.
