Hi there

My DD is the same but I like to put a positive spin on it and just tell myself that she's determined. She will scream blue murder if I take anything off her (like my mobile phone) even if I've let her play with it for 10 minutes.

Most of the time she is a very easy-going little thing so I try not to let these episodes get to me. Even though we had a lot today!

I've had so many people tell me how inquisitive and alert she is that I just see these 'tantrums' as an offshoot of that.

I saw the same thing with my sister's children. Her first was very placid and she thought it was a good thing that she could prop him in front of a dvd and not hear a peep, whereas her second was a lot more inquisitive and instead of watching a dvd, she would try to open the player and see how it was all working. Personally, I think an inquisitive child is much more preferable even though it sure can make the day challenging!
