For the days you want to have your own meltdown

I t lasted for almost an hour. His meltdowns sometimes can seem to last and last. He gets so worked up over the very smallest of things. This one was over a sticker that he had removed and wanted to place elsewhere on his Hot Wheels Mini City.                                            Stikers are good for sticking but not removing to another place. I heard it begin and I decided to remove myself and read Ann's Blog for some encouragement and spiritual nourishment.  I have found that sometimes if I just give him the space he needs to vent, he will calm down much quicker than if I were to stay and try and talk him down. When he goes past the point of no return there really is no reasoning with him.                                        I sat uptairs reading, good and perfect gift had been into this tantrum for about 15 mins. He came upstairs where I was, still melting heavily. He says to me through red faced, tears streaming and brimming. With his most angry voice. "
