We explained to him that every time he threw a temper tantrum, we would go into the car and give him an opportunity to calm down, that when he did calm down, we would return to his class. In the beginning we did this several times in a day. Eventually his tantrums decreased, he told me sitting in the car with me was boring and decided he would rather be in his classroom. Gayle S.
