Screaming, kicking, throwing things, punching, biting... all because they don't get their way. How do you deal with this? Some parenting techniques include:

- Spanking.
- Time-outs.
- Ignore child until they are done.
- Talking to the child.
- Bribe the child.
- Threaten to take away toy.

What works/worked for you?

When mine throw a fit and get angry, I usually have to talk to them, then put them in time-out, usually in their room. I don't spank unless I feel it's absolutely necessary.
