3.5 year old epic meltdowns

I’m writing this at the end of my tether. I so depressed and down and need some advice. My daughter has always been strong willed but she has started to have constant meltdowns that can last up to an hour. She screams, hits and repeats things over and over. It’s like she’s picking a fight. For example, I went to change her nappy and she refused. After an hour I finally did it which then led to an hour tantrum of her wanting her pooey nappy back out the bin and me to put it back on. Earlier, I got her clothes out the wardrobe to get her dressed and she screamed saying that the had to go back in her room. It’s like a constant power struggle! I’ve tried everything, ignoring, shouting, reasoning and NOTHING works. When she’s calm and I talk about it she doesn’t seem to care or know why she does it. It has got worse since she had a nursery taster session a few weeks back. She hates leaving me and cried for both the sessions. I’m wondering if it’s because of this? Can anyone please help me as I’m fed up of crying everyday

Hi,Maybe if you request moving this to the parenting section you might get more advice there. Ask mumsnet to move it and hopefully you might read great advice and solidarity. Good luck x
