[quote=Anonymous]I have a kid like this, although more on the tantrum/controlling side and less on the saying she doesn't love us side. I do know that some kids are just a lot tougher to get along with than others (I have others). My kid is 9 now and still has an occasional tantrum, but is getting along much, much better all the time. We did get some help from a psychologist. But, what I have learned in the past few years is that she really knew she was playing us a lot of the time. And I think she felt she wasn't listened to and it really bothered her that she didn't have control - even from an early stage. In hindsight, I wish I'd seen this slide show that someone has been posting a lot of lately. I think this kind of approach would have helped a lot earlier: http://www.slideshare.net/bondobbs/i-ammad-emotional-validation-skill[/quote]
