[quote=Anonymous]I have a similar just turned 5 year old. I know you said you feel bad for yelling back at her, but honestly something that has seemed to work for us is for me to show my real feelings with her such as yelling back or getting loud and annoyed when she is being difficult and ramping up to tantrum. Her therapist called it matching her emotion. I used to try so hard to be calm and soothing and hide my emotions when I was really seething due to her but it seems to trigger her more sometimes. A few minutes of yelling back and forth can end things in a hug for her pretty quickly rather than 30 min to an hour of me being calm and her raging at me. Just a thought. Good luck![/quote]
