My daughter is 5 years old. She has epilepsy and is on medication and her condition is well managed.
Over the past 6 months she has been throwing regular temper tamtrums / meltdowns about 2 - 3 times a week. She will kick, scream and scratch etc.
The main thing that sets her off is not getting what she wants.
She will act this was for 5 to 10 minutes. Towards the end she will scream at my wife and demand that she pick her up and then continue to shout.
I am at a loss, I dont know what to do. Online suggestions range from ignoring her to trying to speak to her to understand the root cause.
Today whilst shopping she wanted a toy and when I said no she had a meltdown. Everyone in the store was looking and i felt so embarrassed. I had to take her outside and even the she was shouting and screaming.
At school she is totally different. Het teachers tell us she is a model student and polite etc.
Any suggests about what I could do.
