Ever dealt with a mid-tantrum twist that involves unexpected moments, like your child deciding it's the perfect time for a vomit surprise? Well, fear not, because the answer lies in a strategy called attention extinction!

With no audience reactions (that's you!) feeding into the drama, the tantrum loses its intensity. Ready to add this effective parenting tool to your repertoire?
