[quote=Anonymous]My friends DD of the same age is very similar = tantrums, yelling in public, whining, etc. They are in the process of getting a ADHD diagnosis for her. To me, it looks like there is some anxiety as well. My friend is a gentle parent and ignores a lot of what her DD does. My DD went through a tough stage around 4-6 and I found I had to be much firmer. Things are so much better. Not perfect, as I am still a bit lenient. But my DD is so much better behaved and I don't dread weekends anymore. Parenting is a marathon, not a sprint. Start clamping down. Take things away, impose rules. It may get worse before things get better. [/quote]
