Gosh, I can't even remember now. It seemed it started instantly when she turned 3. I was counting myself lucky we missed the 'terrible twos' but it was 3 that was challenging. She was back to normal in a few months I think. Or else I just changed how I dealt with it. I do remember realising I was just fighting with her all the time and that wasn't helping anyone. I tried to stop needing to control everything and go with the flow more, and let her have more control and responsibility where I could. I also worked on our daily rhythm and introduced more activities to keep her occupied and challenge her. That helped a lot, our days are smooth and easy now. Maybe only until DD2 turns 3, LOL.
