My DD is just 4 and is often stroppy, bossy, quick to become cross, rude and just unpleasant to be around. At other times she is lovely. I think hunger plays a part but she eats like a bird and is fussy with food on top and often it is hard to fill her tummy up, especially with protein (doesn't like egg, cheese, hummus etc). Will eat meat, beans and dairy stuff. We like to think we are firm but fair, incorporate rewards and lots of praise for good behaviour, keep things light when we can, move on quickly, have clear sanctions when behaviour bad enough... Is this typical behaviour for her age? What can we do or is it ride it out? How much are diet and eating habits to blame? Thank you.
