[quote=Anonymous]My DD went through this phase when she was 5.5. First, we tried to understand what was going on (in her case it was a new school and new baby sister) and cut her some slack because of it. Second, we maintained our regime of very limited screen time. Third, we spent a lot of time with her one-on-one doing things she likes (like playground). Fourth, she gets a sugary dessert a couple of times a week and we did not hesitate to take it away if she was really out of control (we would give her a couple of warnings first). She grew out of it by the time she turned 6, maybe because those stressors naturally subsided, but I also like to think we handled it pretty decently overall.[/quote]
