[quote=Anonymous]It could be a phase, but it can ossify into a personality trait unless you deal with it. Make sure that you are very consistent with your messaging and do not ever give into to her unreasonable demands. What will she actually do if you don’t walk her to the bathroom? Will she sh*t her pants? If she does, show her how to do her laundry and clean up the mess, but don’t do it for her. If she demands dessert before dinner, explain that that isn’t happening. If she persists, tell her that she is losing dessert. Make sure the rest of the family eats dessert in front of her while she tantrums. She needs to see that the consequences of her actions are worse for her than they are for you. [/quote]
