[quote=Anonymous]My daughter was an impossible toddler. From the ages of 2.5 to 4, I was sure she was going to be a sociopath. She had tantrums all the time. Now she's 7 and lovely. Turns out she is an extremely determined, focused person which is fantastic but means she was focused and determined about ridiculous things at 2.5. Anyway, one of my friends had had a similar child and she showed me a video of her daughter having a tantrum where my friend had gone outside on their balcony and left the kid inside to rage because she couldn't take it anymore. That video and my friend's telling me that made me feel so much better. Many of us have been there with a kid who is a "little extra." Don't beat yourself up, try to take a break and lower your expectations, and don't spank again. This too shall pass.[/quote]
