I?m looking for some advice about my DD who is 4 years old.
DD seems to be going through a phase of challenging behaviour crying at the slightest of things i.e. not getting her own way, not being first down the stairs, not finishing a meal first, me carrying her teddy instead of her (even though if I had not got the teddy she would have forgot it) the list goes on.
If she is not crying, she is the opposite she is stroppy, shouting and angry.
She is also not listening and I have to repeatedly say the same thing to her.
I?m finding it very hard to cope with and I?m not sure what the best way to deal with it is.
When she is good, she is very good and loving which I think makes this behaviour harder to cope with.
When I tell her off, she will say things like I suppose you don?t like me anymore. I think you want to get rid of me, maybe you should not have called me (her name) as that?s a bad name as I?m always bad etc.
Neither DH or I have ever said anything like that to her and it hurts that she is thinking these things.
HELP.
