lately my daughter (3.5 yo) has gotten into the habit of being the leader of games. and when there is something that goes different than what she has in her mind, she feels angry. sometimes translating that into punches or bites

if she decided that a piece of paper is a menu of the restaurant and one of her friends says it is an airplane: boom. conflict. we just had one of those and had to go away from the house of her friend because of the conflict

and it’s hard to deal with it. any stories you have around this? what works? what doesn’t?

it’s so wild to reject a behavior of your own kid, and feel and see that she is developing her own character and personality. the good and the bad. how to hold space for that?

Id question why its triggering her so much then id try to teach her hacks to stop it when she feels riled up 🫨 but im not a parent

we have evolved on this regard a bit, last year she bit waaay more than now. but this controlling thing is new and pretty intense. and she is still not old enough to “get” these lessons which makes it harder

do you plan to have kids anytime?
