My daughter is 3years 8months and often gets frustrated and angry.
I'm not concerned about any wider behavioural issues. Its all in response to things I'd expect her to have to learn to navigate through such as not being able to have exactly what she wants, not getting her way immediately, not being able to do something by herself and similar.
She is in a phase where she will scream, shout and stomp right in my face and I don't like it.
I acknowledge her anger and let her know that it's ok to be cross but that she shouldn't direct it at people (she has form for hitting and kicking me at really bad times too).
So far I've got her going to her room for thinking and calm down time in her own space. But I wonder if there are any strategies for her helping her in managing her anger at the point it happens.
If anyone has any tips or things I can try. She's pretty good at telling me if something works for her. I've tried naughty step for bad behaviour in the past but we just didn't get on with that style.
