[quote=Anonymous]Op, I can relate. I pretty much could have written your post. To answer your original question, 6 was the turning point. And now at 8 she is one of the most delightful kids ever. Still sensitive, but more able to handle it. Be patient, give her "tools" to manage her emotions, and yes, ignore her when necessary. For a kid like ours, consequences don't always work because they truly feel like they're justified in feeling the way they do (ie your shirt color is wrong and she tantrums for you to change it, so taking away a toy isn't going to work because she still firmly believes she's right and won't change next time because of the time out or lost toy. Love her for who she is and know that she will be a strong adult if you can guide her right. (Yes with limits and consequences, but also with tools like meditation)[/quote]
