I'm a little leary of anyone who tells me they have the one procedure that always solves, well, you fill in the blank. It's like a pair of one size fits all gloves my husband once bought me; I'm 5'10" so I have longer fingers; the gloves didn't.The author does make a lot of valid points. She discusses some of the typical occasions in which tantrums take place.If you realize there is the possibility of a tantrum, wouldn't it be better to head it off at the pass than try to defuse it after it's occurred? The author gives you all the tools necessary to understand what's about to happen. Learn to be proactive rather than reactive.I would much rather give my grandchildren a kiss and a cuddle, maybe ask how the world has been treating them, than let frustration build up in either one of them.This book isn't worth it because of the 'one way', but it is invaluable for teaching you to recognize when a tantrum MIGHT occur. Since adults are just as prone to temper tantrums as children (we just internalize our tantrums), anyone in a position of leadership ought to read this book.
