[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a 4 y/o boy and several times a day, I silently repeat something to myself that someone once told me: "I never met a 4 year old I liked". It helps me to know that in general, 4 year olds are rough. I can't believe anyone would want to teach a bunch of them every day in daycare/school![/quote] As someone who has taught a bunch of 4 year olds I can say that they typically behave better for teachers and other adults in their lives. Tantrums happen to parents because children are expected to cope all day and when they are worn down they take it out on the people they care for and trust most! It also seems as if OP's 4 year old is dealing with change and trying to find control. Keep doing what you are doing OP, it sounds like you covered all the bases (acknowledging her feelings letting her clam down to talk about it...) If there are situations where you see a tantrum coming and you can offer her choices that might help. Good Luck![/quote]
