Re: Temper Tantrum during exchange - suggestions?
|
Let's see you want to stop the child from hitting and kicking so you hit and spank??
Sorry, but I don't believe in corporal punishment at all; so I have never seen the sense in it..
I would suggest having the exchange in a neutral location; like a park.
Your ex can leave and your son can have his little meltdown safely..
When it is over; you can continue on your way..
PS: It is developmental normal for 5yr olds to have separation anxiety and tantrums when they don't get their way. This whole divorce thing is new to him, also..
Once, he sees that he can't engage you and that the tantrum has no power over you.. He will stop.
