XD; Auntie Roxy's Temper Tantrum Fixes. XD; It depends on the situation. If it's something that causes them to hurt each other (Amily hitting Ruby or being mean). Usually there's punishment involved (from Mom, if she's thare, from me or Ed if we're sitting). If it's not to HARSH and it's just a matter of getting their mind off of it? XD; Distraction is key, but as you said waiting it out. I'm a player tho... I'll play with kids to keep their minds off of things (again, unless they need a repremanding, then playtime's out for a bit.) Amily's is usually (from me) "Behave for your mummy or I won't read to you tonight." And that usually keeps her calm for awhile XD; Eddie told me yesterday that his sister has a new word to keep them in line "NANNY MCPHEE" Evidently they were quite freaked out by her!

I've only had to call parents ONCE when I was babysitting due to a tantrum... that was just cuz I noticed the poor girl was turning BRIGHT red (she was only 3) and had a temperature higher than kids usually do at that age. She ended up being sick (hence the tantrum).
