My daughter is hitting puberty and my son the terrible two's. How do I manage their tantrums and dummy spits without losing my patience and sanity? Please help me I am at my wits end.

Hi honey,

Boy do i know how you feel!!!

I went through the exact same thing . . . . Sorry but there isn't really any advice to give you except to hang on for the ride and make sure you are wearing a seat belt . . . 

The teen will drive you just as nuts as the terrible two's . . . BUT i do send yuo heaps of big (((((HUGS)))) as i truly wish some-one had hugged me when i was going through this.

cheers Kellz

Good luck!  My kids aren't at puberty, so I have no advice, just lots of hugs.

Oh I bet you are!! With the teen I would say talk to them about it. If that doesn't work follow Dr. Phils wise words and strip her room taking away everything but her bed and sheets and make her earn them back. If shes door slamming, remove the door. No TV, no going out. Nothing till she learns some respect. As for the 2 year old I use the corner and it works wonders. At that age they are just asserting their independence but you need to let him know its not ok to yell and scream. Another reason is he could be feeling anxious with his sister being trying too.
