4yr old difficulty in self regulating

Hi all,

My daughter has just turned 4 and since starting a new nursery is really struggling with emotional regulation. We are enduring seismic blow-ups constantly, often over very little things! Share struggles with intense frustration and anger and really can't move passed things that she perceives to be wrong. We know that with this age comes tantrums but these are intense and are making me question if there is something else looming in the background (as in possible SEN or anxiety). We have tried everything and ascribe to a very gentle approach to parenting but she will scream, kick out and generally weep until she extinguishes (too tired or goes to sleep).

I'd like to know A. Is this normal? And B. Your tactics to help your little ones move through this stage.
