My 5yo dd is currently having the most amazing paddy known to man. I can hear thumping floors, screaming, etc. Luckily DH is home as is dealing with her but what to I do about it? She doesn't have them a lot but still, in my opinion, far too much. It started because i asked her to stop doing something, repeated myself, and again and then took off her what she was fiddling with. This was 15 mins ago and she's still going crazy (although it has moved onto a different topic now!). I've tried putting her in a room away from me but she comes out and follows me. Most of the time she's quite nice but when she is like this I can't stand her. I know once she has calmed down I'll go and see her but I will also be holding a grudge over her behaviour (I know, very childish .

Any ideas?

My dd had a proper paddy today over me not buying her a cake ! She chucked herself on the floor and cut her lip open so no advice but feel your pain lol.

my DD does this, everytime she comes out I don't say anything and just put her back and everytime she comes out the 5 mins starts again. Then once shes calmed down she has to explain her behaviour and apologise, I used to sort of hold a grudge but i've learnt to just let it go over my head as that way she'll win still getting a reaction from me if that makes sense.

Very hard but to not get angry but just case of walking away and trying to occupy yourself and not reacting to her behaviour.

glass of wine, fag, deep breath

remember you haven't done anything to 'make' her like this

they all do it, she is still young

could she be extra tired or hungry just now?

there doesn't need to be a reason fro tantrums but may explain this tantrum

Thank you ladies. She has now stopped and is asleep (from exhaustion probably :)). I said to dh we should swap her door so it opens the other way and I can sit against it from the outside so she doesn't have me with her but he doesn't like the idea of her being in a room by herself as it's 'mean'

Pleased to hear it's normal . . . I do feel as though she's the only one who does this out of all her friends.

Ignore, ignore, ignore . . . .repeat as required :)
