What do you other parents (non-parents keep out of this one!) do about temper
tantrums?  My 20 month old daughter has them when either 1) we won't let her
do something (taking apart the desk, climbing Daddy's stepladder, etc) or
2) we don't understand what she is so earnestly trying to tell us.  In the
case of 1), I try to ignore them.  In the case of 2), we try to figure out
what she is saying before she gets too frantic.  If that doesn't work, we
just let her yell until she calms down (she won't let us pick her up) and
try again.
