[quote=Anonymous]My DD had this issue in a big way at age 4 through 5 and even a bit at age 6. She's 7 and it's better now. I talked to my pediatrician who was not much help. For a while we tried "acceptable" outlets -- it's ok to stomp and to shred paper, not ok to hit or slam doors. (I took her door off its hinges if she slammed it and that made an impression.) I let her go be in her room or out back alone if she wanted. I read a lot about peaceful parenting which says that acting out is a cry for something that is missing, often attention and security. I tried to stay very very calm during outbursts (difficult for me). But mostly I think it's a phase and DD is aging out.[/quote]
