How do I prevent temper tantrums?

You can prevent temper tantrums by anticipating the situations wherein the child is likely to have a temper tantrum. For one thing, a lot of parents don't take the time to prepare their children for what's going to happen next. Children don't like change. They just don't; period. They are very conservative little beings. You prepare children: "Now we are going to go here. This is what's going to happen. We are going to meet so-and-so. We are going to go shopping and get a birthday present for your friend." That's back to conversation; having conversations so the child understands what's happening around them.
