What age did your child's tantrums stop?

My ds still has screaming, arguing, kicking type tantrums a few times a day (age 7). They're copable with providing I'm consistent with the usual toddler-style techniques (and I am). I'm presuming they're due to his special needs, but up till what age would this behaviour be 'normal'?

Dunno. I'm 38 and can still throw one if I need to.

well DS1 slowed down from around 5yrs up until 8yrs......then started all over again (he's 10 now)

DS2 never really tantrummed much as a baby but now he's hit 7 seems to have found his groove

But like Rudolph and earwicga I'm in my 30's and can still throw one if I'm in the right mood Xmas Wink

MD - if your DTD2 is anything like my DS1 (who I refuse to let in his room during a tantrum has he's already managed to break some of the dodgy plaster off the walls Xmas Blush) I can confirm.........yes there will be gnashing of teeth Xmas Grin
