comment How can I help my child develop social intelligence?
What you are asking is how to teach a child perception, self-control, and communication. Lumping those together under the umbrella of "social intelligence" is not going to elicit a good answer.

comment When do kids usually stop believing in Santa Claus?
I never understood the purpose of teaching children that Santa Claus is a real person who flies around in a sleigh and brings presents on Christmas. If nothing else, it teaches kids that their parents are liars.

comment How can you deal with tantrums without spanking?
If we were talking about an infant I would agree with you. But in this case, the child is 2 years old and plenty capable of self-control. I reiterate that ignoring the behavior by taking the child outside to "get it all out" is not practical if there are extenuating circumstances like a thunderstorm. It also teaches the child that he can control his parents and the situation by throwing a tantrum.
