[quote=Anonymous]Daughter is 3 years and 2 months.  She had a 25 minute tantrum yesterday which included ripping off all her clothes, scratching at her body (once she noticed I didn't like that), pulling her hair (once I tried to pull it up out of her face), wrecking her room by throwing books, stuffies, anything she could get her hands on.  The reason was very normal toddler, she didn't like the pre-dinner snack I offered.  We've had phases where she does stuff like this multiple times a week, often day after day.  We have been in a low phase for a few weeks but this one cropped up.  Does this sound like familiar toddler behavior or more extreme?

And yes, we are working with our pediatrician who recommended an assessment.  Which we got but turns out was not covered by our insurance so we paid out of pocket but can't afford the $165 per session fee.  So we are in this multi-month process working with our insurance company to find someone who treats 3 year olds and is on our insurance.  In the meantime, we just find ourselves questioning if these tantrums are truly bad or just normal.  It's upsetting to me that we have to wait so long for help so curious what others think.[/quote]
