    Re: What am i meant to do??

    Hugs... I feel for you. My little foster sister is a tantrum thrower, she is 10 now and still throws some rippers. The only thing that works for us is ignoring her completely. She has even gone as far as to throw rocks at HERSELF during a tantrum. She has ran away into the bush at 10:30 at night, she has ran down a busy highway... The works. The fastest way to get her to stop is to ignore. I have talked to her after one of her tanties (we are very close) and she said that she honestly cannot help it and hates it about herself but cannot stop as she just feels soooo angry.
    Hope your DD (and my sister!) grows out of it soon xx

    Distraction is my only advice?

    maybe ignore the screaming, bring her out and maybe get her to help with dinner? even if your just talking her through it

    nope distraction doesnt work, not even chocolate works
    i had cooked dinner already for tonight luckily.. it finally stopped after 2.5 hours with a 15 minute break while she was in the shower.
    if i talk to her or look at her im screamed at even more, but im still screamed at when "ignoring" her and letting her do what she feels the need to do. she pee'd all over the floor in the middle of it cos she "couldnt move"
    arrgghh deep breaths its just a phase its just a phase its just a phase


    who am i kidding!
