[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's the duration and intensity, OP. This was my son at three. We did all the same things-the books, the talking, the timeouts, etc. Nothing worked. By five he was diagnosed with severe ADHD. Speaking from that experience, if you wait it will only get worse and more destructive.

Not trying to internet diagnose for you as it could be a few things, but please get on a waitlist for a child psychologist. The process can take months. In the meantime, schedule an appointment with your pediatrician to discuss. I'd also look up the difference between a meltdown and a tantrum. That was eye-opening for us. [/quote]

I'm the PP and wanted to add this link (https://www.additudemag.com/toddler-tantrums-adhd-emotions-early-signs/). I wish I'd found it when he was three. It would have saved two more years and a Kindergarten start from hell. Please take a look and see if your DD hits on any of the other symptoms. There's also a helpful comparison of what is developmental age appropriate behavior. Very helpful. Again, not trying to internet diagnose, but the more knowledge you have, the better prepared you'll be.
