The next podcast is one you're sure to want to download. It's Part One of a two-part series, Taming The Towering Inferno: Dealing with Tantrums and Defiance.

In the podcast (scheduled to appear Tuesday August 17), I'll talk about the causes of tantrums, both developmental and situational. This will give you the tools to solve the tantrum problem.

Part Two follows in the form of a live teleconference on August 23 at 7 pm Pacific time. Get the details of that and sign up at http://patricianananderson.com/learn/parents.
