Love this book. It's so important to allow children feel their feelings, allow those feelings and let them pass through them. A tantrum is a cry for help: what do they need, sleep? food? just to vent a little bit? The more you push those feelings down the more you grow. However, it's important to honor your own needs for quite and peace of mind too. If you're having trouble because you need quiet and peace, you can express those needs to your child. They may not listen but it's good for them to know. Kids are much like adults. When needs are expressed well and non-violently with sound reasoning and released expectations they often get met.
