My son has been throwing TONS of tantrums lately about everything. He doesn't like to take "no" for an answer, it's driving me nuts and embarassing me in Public. He will do it to me, but not his father. I am frustrated and really upset, I just don't understand.
Help Please!!!

Start taking things away form him and let him know he is not getting it back until he can listen.If he acts out in public I would just leave it is not worth it.

Two words "Time Out" I babysit and I deal with childern that have tons of tantrums a day. I use the time out, one minute for every year they are. The time out dose not start untill they can sit there and be quiet. I feel for you in public it is the worst thing. What i ended up doing with my son is remove him right away and put him in the car for a time out. It takes a lot of work but believe me it dose work. Once you let them out of time out talk to them lovingly not mad tell them what they did wrong and why it is not right to do so. Try it you will be amazed. Good luck!

I have kind of this issue with my daughter. She is so stubborn! But she listens to everything daddy says! She doesn't really do it in public but I have been getting stricter with her cause sometimes I think maybe I am not consistant with her. She seems to be listening better now but we still have a ways to go!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
