No more tantrums please

Sarah had another big tantrum since my last post and Dann handled it the other day, of course it was homework related! I think Dann was traumatized by the whole thing. So after the tantrum my mom told Sarah how it affects everyone in the house. I let Sarah know that it's very disruptive and we all really worry about her when she acts like that. Then I put some classical music and we all settled down. Yesterday I eased up on the homework with Sarah and she did it on her own with the classical music on. I guess she felt more comfortable with doing it once I gave her some breathing room and let her do it on her own. She did great and finished her homework including the homework from the night before that she didn't finish in the midst of the tantrum. It was a very rough week but things are better now. I hope I didn't scare you off from having more Shonna!
