Before we begin, I want to remind you about the RTITI Child Videotaping Use Policy and reiterate that my intention is not to shame, blame or make fun of the parents or the children in these videos, nor to endorse videotaping children at their worst and posting them on YouTube. Since these parents have chosen to do this, then maybe we can use the videos as an opportunity to learn more about taming temper tantrums.
• Which type of tantrum is each of the following children having?
• What has the parent done or is doing that is helpful and unhelpful?
• What would be an effective response?
Some of the videos, though short, can be hard to watch, so feel free to stop the video whenever you think you have enough information to answer these questions.
