The Parenting Thread ladies and gentlemen!

I can’t wait for “ spare the rod, spoil the child “ @Joey66 to pop in with advice.

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?!

Does she have an iPad?
Has she been browsing the official site?
Might explain things.

Can it walk? Can it talk? Then get it up the chimney!

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.

My wife is in education too. Wonder if that adds to their expectations of themselves?

Thought it would be good for if anyone else has issues they wanted to talk about. It's hard to approach friends in person etc as worry what they will think. Nice to get an outsiders view.

Raised 4 of them, a 5 year old was always the most difficult. Until of course they reach 14-16, then 21-24, then 29-35, then 42-47 then 50-52…..other than that, and the money they cost, they’re fine…….

My late father used to have a massive cane in the cupboard - there were 3 of us as kids - if anything got rowdy etc - he used to get the cane out & threaten all of us with it with anger in his face - never used it once - it worked as a great deterrent....... silence with all three children was instant ...... E.G. reverse phycology - fear works ...... without using the fear of getting caned ...... worked every time ......

I'm sure you've already been told this, but it's probably nothing to worry about

At five they feel emotions strongly but can't put it in words which leads to them getting frustrated.

Our youngest was like this from age 2-5 but has since mellowed out a lot. She still has her moments though.
