[quote=Anonymous]Our daughter is 3 1/2 and she is a very sweet very mature relatively easy and socially advanced kid... but she has epic tantrums about certain things.  Like not wanting to comb her hair, reluctance to get dressed, take a bath, etc.  It is like a switch goes off and she literally become possessed by the devil she starts screaming “go away go away” she often gets physically violent if you try to just like man handle her and make her do it (force her to brush teeth, Force her to leave, force her to get in the car).   Whatever irrational things she is throwing a fit about she will just get so angry and often play me and my husband against each other like she wants daddy if mommy is making her do it or she wants mommy and it just goes back and forth.  No amount of “I can see that you’re angry, you are Angry because you do not want to brush your hair but if you don’t brush your hair you will get knots” and all that positive parenting stuff doesn’t work.  At all.  Ignoring her doesn’t work eiTher and leaving her to scream naked and wet after the bath or something she will just literally scream in her room for 20 minutes.  Any tips?  My Six-year-old son never had tantrums like this although he was a more difficult toddler in other ways- listening, sitting still, impulse control etc.  she’s so strong willed and stubborn and it’s usially over meaningless stuff like not wanting to get in the bath[/quote]
