Knowing Ravs, she's just kidding.

Leyy,

Addicted has a point. Do talk to your 3-year-old in firm tone of voice and let him know that is not the proper way to act. Let him know what the penalty of his tantrums will be, and make sure you follow up with what you say.

It sounds old and corny, but putting him in a corner and making him face the wall can be very effective! I did that with my kids, and they HATED the corner! They straightened up soon enough.... and dreaded the CORNER. LOL!

Try putting your son in the corner alone, and see how he acts. Talk to him afterwards and explain that this is a consequence to his actions. Show him good things come in response to good behavior.
If that is successful, you and your husband should get together with your son's daycare providers and let them know that this method works and have them do the same when he throws tantrums.

He will need to have this same practice in force each time he has a tantrum, so that he'll learn the right way to behave brings good things; and the negative actions bring consequences.

I hope it works out for you!
