Are you having a tough time with your toddler? Maybe you're thinking, "Help! My child screams and bites me." If so, you're not alone. Many parents find themselves in the same situation.

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Jenny Coffey has put together some ideas for you to consider, especially for the times you're out shopping and your child is preparing for a full-blown meltdown.

Jenny, a counselor at Focus on the Family, explains that a child may start getting out of control during certain times of the day, and suggests you avoid shopping during those times. She also has some ideas you might not have considered about what to do when your child is in mid-meltdown.

Jenny explains that a child that screams and bites doesn't make him or her a bad child, but that there are ways you as a parent can help keep that from happening.
