Web links: Temper tantrum info

For parents or practitioners looking for advice on temper tantrums-from the common ones of the terrible twos to those of teens lashing out at their parents-the Web offers pools of advice a mile wide but only a few inches deep. Contemporary Pediatrics’ new podcast on temper tantrums aims to fill that gap, as do these Web sites. Access this special feature at www.contemporarypediatrics.com. Most offer common-sense advice, but results, of course, vary from child to child.
