My husband hit on a good way to defuse tantrums that I thought I would share. I'm so proud - usually he's the one that loses his cool when DD has a tantrum, but he came up with this one all by himself.

When DD starts freaking out, he gets down to her level and says "let's take deep breaths. See if you can blow me down!" And he takes a deep breath with her, and when she exhales he pretends to fall down She loves it and "blows him down" 4-5 more times and then you know what, she's calm!
