Suffering natural consequences of their actions is one way teens learn to control their tempers. Often this can be acomplished simply by refusing to rescue them, not giving them an easy "out".

Don't react to the tantrum. The teenager uses these tantrums as a way of getting attention even if that attention is negative.

First if your child is in temper with you, its because you lowered your standers to them so they naturally take advantage of you just like a vulnerable partner.
