Allen Semmes is a 3 year-old youngster who was described as an “angel” but lately he has had
severe temper tantrums that happen on a weekly basis for the past 6 weeks. According to his
mother, “They often follow a change in his routine, not having an afternoon nap, or if he’s
hungry. On rare occasions Allen will get so worked up that he’ll grab something and throw it on
the floor. Funny, but his teachers love him at preschool. I don’t want to reach any premature
conclusions but if there’s anything his father and I can do to nip this in the bud, we’re all in.”
