DD is coming up for 4.
Has always been a whinger and quick tempered.
Last 6 months or so has become awful. She whines and whines and whines. Even a simple request for a drink involves a whiny tone.
She has taken to screaming in temper when somethings not right, eg, her toy is caught on something, or she can't get her slipper on. Its very similar to an "I'm being murdered" scream, meaning I usually have to find her and investigate.
She's at pre school, and she seems fine, her teachers say she is sunny, pleasant and popular.
Generally when I pick her up she has started whining before I'm even in the car.
Its probably minor, but its getting me down. I can't be anywhere or do anything without hearing her persistant whining or screaming. I'm starting to feel tense and very quick tempered around her because it doesn't stop. The weekends are worst, because she does not let up.
She's usually ok if we're at soft play, but once we're on our way home she's off again.
I really am hoping its a phase, because I'm really at my wits end with her.
