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?

So for my first kid. There was a phase where he would hit if he got upset. So one thing we always tried to convey is that it hurts. Not down play but really like “owwww” so he realized that it was hurtful. And we would clearly say we do not want to be hit. And the next thing is I would immediately remove him from the room. Usually to his bedroom. Hitting always ended whatever we were doing (even if that made him more upset cause now he couldnt play) And i would just hold him in there until he calmed down and was willing to apologize. (Mind you this might take 10-20 minutes) of just holding him. Eventually this behavior stopped once he realized hitting wasn’t getting him what he wanted but actually taking him away from stuff.

one tactic I used a lot at that age is distraction. kids brains get fixated on things and they have hard time letting go. if you come at them with something completely off the wall, it moves their attention to that. "Cora. did I show you that our car has a duck for an engine?" and then walk her to the car, open the frunk, and show the stuffed duck I keep there. let her bring the duck into the restaurant and by the time we're back, she's not worried about airplane menus. telling a silly joke or something ridiculous works well too.

I think it's an issue beyond the game. She is displaying that she is a kid with authority, anything she says must stand. It's a good attitude but there is a need to teach her how to use it in the right way. So she will not build enemies around herself in the future.

We have a sibling who has an issue with loosing games and it is intense when se doesn't get it her way, we explain that it stops being fun and that best is to have fun together, and trying to make her have that sense of togetherness more than winning, ofc, it's a different scenario, keep it up
