[quote=Anonymous]Dear OP,

I just wanted to say that I have two kids that are very strong-willed and sometimes my DS (almost 6) can be like Jekyl and Hyde when overtired or if he has not eaten properly.

A lot of what I have been reading lately is focused on positive parenting. Someone (can't remember where I read it) said that if you were at work and someone was constantly saying "DO THIS" or "DO THAT" or "you did X. Go to the conference room. You are being written up"... we would be on edge and stressed and want a new job. Your DD may react better to positive behavior and ignoring some of the behavior that can be ignored... sort of "pick your battles"...
