Watched the video from this guy, tried out the techniques. They work.
It’s also funny, now, that the cave(wo)man has turned three and has some sense of shame as well as budding logic skills,
to demand that she throw a “better” tantrum.
“Oh, come on, you can do better than that! Kick your feet more! Pound the floor with your hands!”
She gets embarrassed and stops, most of the time.

LOL! I remember my husband doing that with our son. It really does work, LOL! When he was going through the “carry me” phase when he was 3, Husband would say, “Fine. I’ll carry you, but you won’t like it!” And he’d pick him up and carry him upside down, or sling him over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.
He always wanted “down” nearly immediately and would then walk along with us.
Plenty-o-ways to outwit the little buggers and short-circuit whiny days. ;)
Yep. It works. I was doing that well over 40 years ago.
BTW, My "kids", now in their in their 40's, turned out well. No problems.
Very successful, independent, stable marriages, good families of their own. I guess it worked.
