The first time my 10-year-old threw a tantrum she was sitting on the floor. She was only a year old and she didn't get a toy she wanted.  She proceeded to scream, kick and cry.

My wife and I both looked at her and laughed. Next thing I did was sit on the floor next to her and do exactly what she did. I started screaming, kicking my feet, threw myself backwards rolling around "crying".

The look on her face was priceless. It could have been interpreted as " what the crap are you doing?" Never and I mean NEVER did it ever happen again!
