What a great, logical approach. I have totally used the "sack-of-flour" hold before, I just didn't have the fancy name for it! I will re-read this advice, I am sure. It's tough not to get drawn into the emotional battle with a person that you spend almost all of your with, but I agree that consistency and emotional distance in the heat of the tantrum are crucial for getting through them. Thanks!
