Re: temper tantrum, more like screamin fit | | I had something similar with my little boy when he was a similar age and felt exactly like you do, except I felt more guilty cos my oldest had to miss out on some things or give in to him cos he used to get so out of control. I tried everything to get him to behave, out stairs are near the front door and when i tried the naughty step he just legged it down the road! He wasnt at school, just playschool for a few hours a day and there he was bad but not too bad. I kept it too myself mostly cos i thought it was something i was doing and when people spoke to me about him i would be close to tears. God knows what i did, i just started to put my foot down more and not let him have his way and then when i had my third baby and he got less attention, not intentionally of course, and he was treated more like he was more grown up he just changed. He still has times where hes a nightmare and some terrible tantrums but they are very short and easily sorted out, mostly now he is a very loving, caring boy. So all i can say is try to stick with it and it will pass, all these things do, even though it doesnt seem like it at the moment, try to let her do more grown up things and let her be more grown up, if shes anything like my daughter that will soon put her off. And just try to bear with the tantrums and ignore her, if she sees its having an effect it just teaches her what to do to get her way, good luck.
