How, you ask, can I be so sure it's possible to raise kids free of temper tantrums when parenting experts tell us it's not possible? My first five babies all threw temper tantrums...and my last eight did not. My fifth baby was around fourteen months old when I figured out what to change in my parenting style so that he became forever free of temper tantrums within about a week.
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.
So if the parenting experts were correct in that ostensibly all children throw temper tantrums, then how would we account for all the parents who say their children have never thrown them? Can we assume these parents are lying about their experience? Or can we assume that the experts are wrong about tantrum inevitability? I believe the latter because I'm one of those parents claiming to have raised some tantrum-free children, and I'm certain that I'm not lying about it.
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.
Despite the fact that many of these parents can't articulate what it was they did that created tantrum-free children, their experience still gives support to my theory. These parents demonstrate that temper-tantrum-free child rearing is very possible for those who discover the right techniques to use. Any parents who've been able to bring up tantrum-free kids are invited to list their experiences on my website's Tantrum Free Club page, so they can join the effort to convince others that tantrum-free childrearing is entirely possible. And any parents who weren't able to raise tantrum-free children are welcome to vent and share their most embarrassing and worst ever stories about temper tantrums on my Most Embarrassing Tantrums webpage.
