Purpose:

A redo gives children a chance to do something again in a better way. In the middle of a tantrum, any attention could make the tantrum worse. After your child is calm, you can give them the chance to redo whatever caused the tantrum.
Remember that a redo is most helpful when you also use the other PC-CARE skills.
