My 4 year old last night got out of her bedroom, went into our room and got hold of my sewing scissors and cut her curtains, her sisters quilt cover and her sisters hair (not much), her sister is 2 and was asleep through this.
I'm just wondering what I'm meant to do, I can't put a stair gate on her door without taking the door off and she climbs over gates anyway or bangs against them enough times they come off the wall. She throws all her clothes on the hall and off their hangers, I do have locks on the drawers but she's learnt how to take them off forceably so it breaks them.
I don't want to lock her in, but she gets in the bathroom and messes about in there with toothbrushes and whatever else she can get her hands on. If she sees something she wants she'll climb on anything to get it, she's tall in 6-7 or 7-8 clothes depending where we shop and she just doesn't seem to care when we tell her off.snd has the most almighty tantrums that you have to ignore otherwise she just gets louder as you feed into it. Time out spots don't seem to make much difference as she spends it screaming and banging on the walls or runs upstairs and stomps around.
She's lovely with her sister, really good at sharing and helpful in her own way. Really after some advice and support as I don't know what I'm meant to do and feeling like I'm making her out to be awful and she's really not. Just have moments when she loses control of her emotions. Thanks any advice would be much appreciated.
