| Looking for some insight on what are typical behaviors for a 4 year old. My daughter is definitely sensitive and that’s something we’re trying to help her with but she also still throws tantrums. Is this normal for this age? Also if you have any resources, books, etc for parenting a sensitive child, I’d appreciate you sharing! |

| Yes normal for that age. I have a highly sensitive kid and tantrums lasted many years. Start working with her now to learn how to calm herself. Do it when she’s already calm and start with taking breaths. Practice daily (like before each meal). |

A friend sent me this list I found it helpful not sure where from probably can Google it:
A child age 4: Is very independent, wants to do things on his or her own Is selfish, and doesn’t like to share Is moody. Mood swings are common. May be aggressive during mood swings and become aggressive to family members Has a number of fears May have imaginary friends Likes to explore the body and may play healthcare provider Might "run away" or threaten to do so Fights with siblings Will often play with others in groups A child age 5: Is generally more cooperative than a 4-year-old Is generally more responsible than a 4-year-old Is eager to please others and make them happy Has good manners Dresses himself or herself completely without help Gets along well with parents Likes to cook and play sports |

| Omg so normal. I have learned a lot from how to talk so little kids will listen. |
