How Do I Stop It?

Ahh... the wonderful I can throw a screaming fit stage, gotta love it. Kids tend to know what buttons to push on us parents. Try not letting it bother you, or show that it bothers you. I know easier said that done but if she sees she's getting to you and you give in after the fit, she's got you right where she wants you. If times outs are working try taking away a favorite toy, or starting a good behavior chart, and when she's good all day long she get's her star and at the end of the week, she get's something special. Nothing major, an extra cookie that day or something like that. So she will see that being good get's little nice things, she may turn her ways around. My son when he was 3, that was his worse year of growing up. It's a hard year for them, they no longer want to be a baby, but they don't know how to act older. They are most likely doing all the big kid things, like pottying, and so on, so learning how to express feelings is very hard for them, so that's when this stage kicks in, they wanna yell and scream. It will soon pass, and you'll move into the mouthy stage, lol... Best of Luck!

I would say hug her! Tantums are often a way to deal with feelings - they have a hard time to express what thay are feeling and the anger or sadness gets to much to cope with. Just be firm and hug her if she lets you - Love me most when I deserve it the least..... If she wants to be left alone - leve her and talk to her when she's calmed down. I've had two girls having hard tantums and they do grow out of it. One thing that was important for us was to tell things in advance - it made it better. Like things we were going to do and so on.

Try taking away her favorite toy. My youngest is 2 & she throws tantrums. Time outs dont work for her either. I take away some of her toys until she straightens up or if i am going somewhere & she wants to go, she isnt allowed to go. It seems to work with her. She hasnt been acting up as much.
