We once had a tantrum that ended in vomit. I have since instituted the "Yoga breathing" when we get too upset... Good luck helping Dotter find her calming ways. It is hard. Bribes work.. I consider them "unnatural consequences for good behavior" yeah. that's the ticket!:) The calming is the HARDEST thing in the world. We once had a tantrum that ended in vomit.

Y'see, there are suddenly all these toy catalogs pouring into our mailbox. And the dotter has suddenly realized that they are full of pictures of toys. And she saw Slinky Dog. I'm a happy camper. This leaves us <B>lots</B> of stuff for Christmas and bday presents. I was astonished, Johnny. Nope. Y’see, there are suddenly all these toy catalogs pouring into our mailbox.
