Hang in there! Did something maybe happen while he was at Dad's? It might be something as little as he was left in the other room with a stranger while at Dad's. It maybe something that no one gave a second thought to. It also may just be that he is doing it to get his way. Do you respond or react when he does through his fit? He maybe doing it to simply get a reaction out of you. The best thing to do is to not react at all. Simply continue with what you were going to do. Hopefully he will realize that he is not getting the attention he wants for the negative action. In turn you must praise him when he is being good. Give him positive reinforcment for his good behavior. You may also try letting him know that you are going to go get a drink or go to the bathroom and you will be right back. He may still through a fit, but you have reassured him that you will return. I going through this same thing with a little one I take care of. I am doing the same thing and it seems to be helping. The child is realizing that I will return and then we clap and say hurry because I came back and the child did not cry. Hope this helps. Any other questions feel free to email me @ ____@____.com
