I don't know about your son, but mine is a high maintenance kind of kid, and he gets worked up so easily. Sometimes I would love to tune him out because even when I engage or try to talk him down he will still stay upset for long periods of time. He's only two so I don't even want to imagine what it will be like when he's older. (Insert heavy Sigh here :) ) I found what really works to get him to calm down is to get down to his eye level, and speak really calmly and tell him things like "You need to calm down, mommy is trying to talk to you, and when you're ready to listen/talk to mommy then you need to stop crying and talk to me, not yell." Most of the time it works to get him to calm down, but the times it doesn't...oye. Anyway, thanks for sharing over at SITS.
