This thread has just relieved so much stress for me...so it's a stage? Dd has gone from the most delightful child to a tantruming raging monster. She is lashing out at dh and I and even hit ds today. Calmness is not always my forte, but I certainly notice positivity and calmness comes back to me, whereas aggression and anger is mirrored ten fold.

Time out is not really my thing, but I tried it this week too (along with yelling and raging back...urgh).

This too shall pass hey?
