I’m just seeking some advice, perhaps reassurance that tantrums are ’normal’/typical still for 4 year olds?
For context, my daughter has just turned 4 this month. We’ve never really had any issues with her regarding tantrums. Maybe a handful when she was 2 (usually related to not wanting to be in her car seat) and a few more when she was 3 (usually linked to her Dad being away for the first time and pooing on the toilet - chronic constipation/pain fear cycle so with holding pooing and then getting distressed at needing to go) However, these past 2 weeks since turning 4 have been really challenging.
Lots more triggers; not wanting to leave the house, not wanting to go home, not wanting to wee/poo, not being able to take something home from nursery etc. She keeps saying she doesn’t want to be 4 - she wants to be 3 again.
I thought they got less frequent as the years go by but we seem to be going the opposite way!
Any thought gratefully appreciated!
