She was around 5 at the time.
I used to work with Autistic kids and also in a respite center for abused children before my dd was born, so I can keep a calm demeanor thru just about anything.
Besides, since those outbursts only happened about twice a year, I considered myself very lucky. They always seemed to happen when she was going thru a growth spur. I think it was her way of testing limits. She has learned now that trantrums don't work and she doesn't try them anymore.
Now I am starting to see the pre teen attitude sometimes, not very often though and usually has been limited to the roll of the eyes. My dd in general is a very sweet, well behaved child.
