Children reach a certain age, about the time they have 100 to 200 words in their vocabulary, when they can't express what they want to say or do. A temper tantrum results.
However, allergies, thunderstorms, asthma, and other outside influences can also cause tantrums.
The Temper Tantrum Common Sense Handbook helps you determine what is causing your child's tantrums, how you can prevent or avoid them, and when that isn't possible, what to do with your child.
This is an excellent resource for parents, relatives, baby sitters, day care operators, and anyone who works with and loves children.

The Common Sense Handbooks are designed for people who are not dummies or idiots and who just need some fine tuning on their knowledge. Maybe you need a little reassurance because you have the basics, or you had them ten years ago. Each book is brief (about 20,000 words) and gives you plenty of ideas to help resolve your problem.
The concept was conceived about ten years ago when I kept hearing people who were divorcing say they wished they had thought about doing something during the divorce process, or wished someone had said something, or reminded them of something. We can all agree that divorce and common sense tend to be polar opposites.
From there, it was a small mental step to write about other aspects of life. It was a much larger step moving these books into reality.
Other books in the series will deal with corporate divorce, stand-up comedy, bartering, camping, sightseeing by public transportation, cruising, family reunions, and you name it.
In fact, if you would like to write about one of the above topics or suggest another one, please contact Judy. The royalty payment is much better than any other publisher unless you published it yourself, except we take care of the headaches part so you don't have to.
