[quote=Anonymous]You need to look into 123 Magic. You need to set consequences in writing ahead of time. And all the other things that posters above said. If I were you I would get a parenting therapist to help you. I’d also get a notebook and every single time after one of the meltdowns when she is calm, I’d sit down with her and put in writing what the trigger was, like the pancake, then what she did or said, then what the consequences were. Also have her tell you what the other people in the house were likely thinking or feeling. This has to be done when you are also calm, and in a supportive way, so that she gets to say her side and you help her see the other side, and then over time you can see patterns, time of day, etc. The next part is that you write down what she can do that is a better choice should the same feelings arise. It’s a lot to do, but it does work over time. [/quote]
