You're welcome, smacca. (insert smiling emote that I haven't figured out how to do yet)
Too bad we all don't live on the same street.
My DD was intense from birth. Eventually they can channel it, all going well. That's part of why we're all here on this forum, to learn from each other how to do it.
Cricket2, my dd did that seat thing. And I'm so glad to hear how she's turning out.
For a multi-month stretch, maybe when DD was 4 (older than a toddler but not in K yet) I had to sit in the back seat with her, after an episode where she took off her seatbelt on an interstate, and we had to pull over and I had to get back there etc. etc. After that, for months, I was so nervous when I was alone with her, me driving, and didn't go very far for a good long while. She did it about 3 times in all during a rip-roaring intense tantrum that appeared to come out of nowhere.
She outgrew it, stage completely vanished, but those months were soooo tough.
Of course I really do believe in guardian angels!
