I have a wonderful, highly melodramatic 5 year old who drives me insane with her mood swings, tantrums, violent outbursts, lack of compliance, and self-pity. I've decided to try a zero tolerance approach over the summer but could do with some assistance and wondered if anyone could recommend any interesting, non-patronising books about emotional children and also how to teach social skills. She really is very very emotional - not just a tired 5 year old.
