I:0:T How can I be so certain that you can raise your children free of temper tantrums when parenting experts advise for the most part that it's not possible? The first five children I had all threw tantrums when they were babies, but my last eight did not. When my fifth child was fourteen months, I learned what I needed to alter in my parenting style, and within a week or so he was forever free of tantrums.

As I had my last eight children, I applied the same parenting techniques from as soon as they were born, and not one of them ever threw tantrums. I'm not, however, one of very few parents who've raised a number of temper-tantrum-free children. I have met hundreds of them, personally, and I'll bet there have been many millions worldwide.

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.

Many parents of tantrum-free kids might not know exactly all they do that's different from what tantrum-throwers' parents do, mainly, I'm guessing, because they didn't have failures to compare with successes like I did. In other words, my guess is that most parents who bring up tantrum-free kids do so with every one they have, right from the beginning of their parenting days. Somehow they are able to start out on the right track and don't get into heeding the standard, faulty tantrum advice. They don't have before and after sets of examples for comparison like I had, so they can't say what they were doing during the failures and what they changed to cause the successes.

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.
