Best advice I can give is don't bring them up to support Everton, if you don't do that your a good parent regardless of anything else you do.

Thank you. It's just so hard to watch and almost impossible to get through to them when happening. It's good to know that it is not uncommon. That was sort of what I needed to know.

Log into mumsnet or similar and you will find countless other parents in your situation.

At testing times I ask myself “what would Everton do”, and then do the complete opposite.

It’s kept them just about alive so far.

Still debating that with my son, about inflicting that shower on my grandson.

If you've already got kids, don't have anymore.

If you're child free, keep it that way.

Life will be better. It'll be better for the planet.

You can thank me later. Oh, you didn't mean this sort of advice did you?

Couldn't see anything so thought I'd start it up!

Anyone with kids able to offer words of comfort to ease the pain of a 5 year old girl that seems to have epic tantrums daily lately? Is this normal or should we be worried?!

5 year old Grandson has them also.

Little bugger.

Mildly worried that this is in fact serious.

(I don’t have kids, just wanted to empathise)

Probably should've called the thread 'Dadsnet' but I'm too PC for that! ?

Too late! Got an insomniac one year old now too!

You hear a lot more about the “terrible twos”, but tantrums are also a normal (but painful) part of development in that 5-7 year old range.
I have five kids ranging from 2 to 14 and we have experienced this in varying degrees of intensity. In my experience which is purely anecdotal, it was definitely worse with my daughters rather than my sons.

I've got 2 kids (son 6 daughter 3). Son does that thing where he hits himself and says stuff like "I'm the worst" etc if he's done something wrong. It's one thing that has got me and the wife stumped on how to deal with. I do fear he's going to have a battle with his mental health when he's older so i don't rant and rave at him when he's being naughty.

I've told him to just support Man City to save himself the hassle of Everton lol

My daughters tantrums seem massively over the top to the point where we are already worrying about her as well, my wife works in the education department and said she does have a few signs of possibly being autistic.

Good thread too by the way and hopefully we can all give each other some advice when needed.
