Purpose:

You obviously won't show enjoyment during a tantrum. Making difficult or boring tasks more fun can prevent tantrums. After a tantrum, find a way to enjoy your child. This is part of recovery. It will help you both feel better.
Remember that enjoyment is most helpful when you also use the other PC-CARE skills.
