I need some ideas on why dd get angry so easily, she was never like this before! Only the past few months. Anything can get her worked up, from her not getting her own way to colouring and drawing outside the lines!

She gets annoyed straight away, i dont even have the chance to but in and say "calm down" or "your doing a great job" etc. She just gets worked up and so frustrated, i cant explain it, but for example she'l clench her fists and give up on whatever it was...

Errm sorry thats a crap decription lol,..just wondering if any other dc are like this??? Its alomst like shes young again before she could talk and explain how she felt.

what you describe is quite normal, she is just practising for when she's a teenager! Children need to learn to handle lots of different emotions, they need to learn it is ok to be angry, sad, pissed off as well as happy. She is at an age where you can talk to her, say something like, "I can see you have got an angry face,why do you feel angry" She needs to talk it through to make sense of it. Hope that helps.
