If she is told she cannot do something or have something that she wants she goes into a rage. I have tried every trick in the book - ignoring it (aggravates her more), speaking calmly to her (she just yells over my talking), putting her in "time out" (a joke), this weekend I spanked her (again did not work). I am at my wits end. This child is perfect for others she is advanced at school and very responsible. She has never gotten her way acting like this. These fits started at age 4 and occcured about once every couple of months so even though they were difficult to deal with the frequency made it tollerable. Now she is having these several times a week and I feel like I am breaking down. I am not fond of the idea of children being medicated but I am leaning towards taking her in to see her doctor. Has anyone experienced this and do children grow out of this??
