10. Actually, ignoring it isn't always the best way. I have found that
offering a child a choice is an effective way of dealing with a tantrum. "you can continue this behavior and we will leave the store and you will be in time out OR you can stop right now and I can finish my shopping and afterward we will go home and play some games -You pick and pick now." Often times when given a choice of behaviors, they will pick the best option.
I've also pulled mine out of restaurants and said, "you have a choice - we can go back in and finish our meal OR I can take you home to the privacy of your own room."
