DD has always been over dramatic and sensitive (well since about age 2, she was an angel as a baby) Around the time she hit age 3 or 3.5 it got worse. She even went through a phase where she would get angry and smack at me. Thankfully I have broken her of that with time outs and firm talks. She just snaps from sweet to out of control in a second literally. Like today she throw a complete freak out tantrum because she couldn't click fast enough on a computer game. If you have a 3.5 to 4.5 year old do they lose control of there emotions this easily? I am having a hard time determining if her lack of self control and her temper are something I should worry about or something normal? She is very smart, her preschool teachers say her education is at about a 2nd grade level, however even her preschool progress report shows lower marks in areas of self control.
