Talk to Pediatrician: Generally, we advise placing the child in a safe place and ignoring the tantrums.Then give your child a hug when done, promoting the reward of not behaving so.. And discussing this with your pediatrician should be helpful.

Child Find: If you can't afford a behavioral therapist, children age 3-5 are eligible for early childhood special education if they have significant social/adaptive delays. Your school district has a child find team that can assess him for eligibility. Also, you can ask them who in your community teaches parents positive behavioral supports: how to "catch him being good.".
