[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have a child like yours. And my first was also much easier. It is most likely normal and just a strong willed child. Read up on strong willed children. Read up on setting boundaries with strong willed children. It takes an iron will to parent these kids, and it is exhausting. Pay attention to what sets off your particular child, and what brings her back. Your parenting strategy will have to be very personalized, and consistent. Determine your absolute boundaries for her, and let go of all the stuff that don't matter because you will need your energy for the things that do. Take turns with spouse. Take breaks. It's ok to lose it every now and then. It will get slightly better as she aged and you can reason with her more. Do time outs. Or time ins, if outs dont work. Force her to have those alone times to calm down and reset. Good luck.[/quote]
