    At 3.5 she would have one every day. Easily. Now it's much rarer and they don't last anywhere near as long. I can almost certainly recognise why it is happening (tired, hungry, dramatic change in routine), so yes it gets better.
    I still remember DD1 had a couple of doozies at 5yo though, lol. So I'm not counting any chickens.

    Often

    I can sort of see a light at the end of the tunnel, she turns 4 in November. I have found slight improvement in her behaviour since starting 3yr old kinder.

    Her tantrum can be colossal over the smallest things such as this morning not wanting to wear the shoes she had on, then all of the sudden liking them and going all angelic on me..very confusing.
    Or not being able to carry her brothers school bag from the car to the house...we have had a 30 min tantrum over that one.

    Oh yeah 3.5 was hard work!!

    I found the leap to 4 was massive for dd and now she is back to being a dream kid. Everything was frustrating for her at 3.5 and now she is 4 I can see big differences in drawing, talking, empathy etc. it's a big leap I think.

    Only just turned 3 here, but I think it has been about every 37 minutes today.
