literally that. My daughters behaviour just seems so extreme to the point I end up tears. Just the slightest inconvenience or no will usually end up with her going into a flying rage and there is no calming her.
For example the other day coming out of school she wanted her packed lunch so I gave it to her. She took out a half eaten cake and then proceed to drop it on the floor, I told her not to pick it up because it was dirty now and she could have another once we got home. Nope she just wouldn’t listen she was screaming at the top of her voice that she wanted it and wouldn’t walk. I explained why she couldn’t have it but she still wouldn’t listen. Eventually managed to get to the car after much screaming and shouting from her and once in the car she smacked me round the face. I just ended up in tears because it m so frustrated with her not listening.
this is just one example of her behaviour, it’s becoming a daily occurrence and yesterday she actually nipped me quite hard on the arm because I said no to her having 2
chocolate bars when I told her she could have 1, which then resulted in a hour long screaming and crying and her telling me she doesn’t like me.
At school she is really good, I had her parents evening last week and the teacher said that she was really well behaved and no issues with her. I feel so deflated and mentally exhausted, I feel like I’m losing control and she’s only a child. I don’t ever shout at her I just try to explain why she can’t have something or why she can’t do something but she just doesn’t listen.
sorry for the rant I’m just at my wits end and just want to see if anybody has ideas on how I can approach and stop the tantrums from escalating.
