[quote=Anonymous]I actually had a phone appointment with my pediatrician about my 5.5 year old's angry outbursts. DD is a model student but loses it at home. The ped had some good practical suggestions but basically said my expectations are too high and I need to let her be a kid, which means tantrums. DD is not that far removed from toddler hood, plus K is stressful. I need to listen and reassure, not impose consequences which just escalate things. She is a fan of the ahaparenting website and also of guided meditation ("feel your toes, they're relaxing...") at bedtime. There have been a ton of posts lately about emotional 5 yo, because of K starting. YMMV but talk to your ped. [/quote]
