    Lovemydd: I soooo wish my dd would show her anger like your dd. Mine feels she needs to melt down all the time when she doesn't get her way. So hard to deal with her melt downs!!!

    Be careful what you wish for, northdakotagal. If my dd continues this when she is a teenager, I will lose it. Lol!

    NDgal: This is a good example of the kind of pacification I mentioned before.

I did talk to after her melt down and told her that its ok to get mad but its not ok to act this way. She says " ok" to me everytime but still melts down when its not her way. Same way at home.

    I'm not suggesting you spank your daughter in front of the class. I'm just suggesting that whenever she behaves this way, it never results in her getting what she wanted.

    Dude: sorry, missed typed it should have said that ( I passed out to one of her friends and she wanted to do it. I told her that she could do the rest but instead she chose to melt down so I did the rest) I didn't give in after she chose to melt down. I don't know what to do with her anymore. She's dirupting my class, I have to redirect her and then the class from her being diruptive. I put her in time out when she does this. I do talk to her and also the class to help remind her to use her words instead of melting down over little things.

    If u chose my battles with her she would get her way all the time. One time I would let her do something and then the next I would tell her no and she would get confused cause in her mind she would think " y was it ok before and now its not." I'm just at a stand still with her.
