Our tantrums are getting worse - louder and more physical.... however before there was no talking to E or moving on from it whereas now we seem to be developign a strategy together mostly which involves me ignoring if we are at home once we have explored every other angle or just putting him in the pushchair and dealing with all the looks of the passers by. He will also hug and listen to me explain why I was upset etc, so although the actual tantrum is worse it si sort of better 
I will come by overground or bus I reckon to meet up if I make it, but am familiar with the area so should be cool.
