My 17 m/o has recently started having little meltdowns when she can't have/do what she wants. It doesn't happen every day but when it does, it's impossible to console her - she writhes around making horrible wailing noises, won't be held... From experience, what is the best way to deal with these episodes? I want her to know I'm there and make her feel better, but don't want her to learn that she can get everything she wants by screaming.
