When she has these fits, just walk into the other room. Ignore her, this always works on my daughter who is 6. I have also threatened to call her little friend over to come see her throw a fit. This works fastest than walking away most of the time.
Each child is different and what works for one parent, doesn't always work for another.
Good Luck!!

Yelling and cursing is not the only way to handle it, i have a friend that does that and her kids are still bad. Talk to her and if she can't give a explanation , other than I don't know!! You go to step B, you handle your business and let her know who's the mother and who's the child. Let her know that you will no longer put up that!!!! I don't mean beat her. If she likes to scream and fall all over the floor, let her scream and fall all over the the floor in her room, thats what its there for.

It sounds like you have a bit of a drama queen on your hands. You might want to sit down and have a serious talk with her (during a calm time when neither of you are angry) and ask her POINT BLANK why she says that. Explain to her that, by saying those sort of things, she could be taken away from you!
Seriously, she needs to stop that nonsense. She has no idea that she is playing with fire when making those kinds of claims.

I know this to be true: if you yell the child will respond with loudness. If you talk softly, the child will respond to soft voices. Set the example. She knows this "do as I do, not what I say".

Like one other person said when she does this you act like her.I had a child in my classroom that would throw tantrums when she didnt get what she wanted and we just started acting like her and she stopped what she was doing and realized how she looked SILLY. It will work.

She obviously wants attention from you...ANY attention...and knows behaving in this way will get your attention. You need to get advice on better ways to parent her, and she needs some quality time from you. I'm not judging you, I'm just telling you what I "see."

How about stopping modelling the behavior for her. You hit and yell at her. What do you expect her to do? You are TEACHING her these behaviors.
