Tantrums galore

The past three mornings, Reagan has had horrible temper tantrums. She refused to go to soccer on Saturday. She was out of control She kicked and screamed and was just difficult to handle. I eventually got her to her room on Saturday. Sunday, she had another fit. This morning, it was another really bad one. She was out of control. I actually had to hold her legs to keep her from kicking me. Not to mention trying to get her dressed...

It was horrible. I felt bad but how do you handle that if you don't have a way to just let them cool down. Sigh...

Anyway. I did talk to her. She eventually came to me and spoke to me about being "sorry". She hugged me and said she was really sorry for acting up and being mean. I know she thought about it.

My friend said she was testing me. Sigh, she's never done this before with me. It's hard.  I love this little girl and she is so stubborn. I hope our efforts tonight will improve her ability to handle stress. We just didn't put up with the meanness.
