My daughter is really skilled at throwing a tantrum.
It doesn’t do her any good, nothing changes.
But she does know how to make the world around her a little less unpleasant, when she doesn’t get what she wants.
Generally, deflection and misdirection is the best way to get her out of her reverie of anger. But sometimes you just have to walk away and let her stew in it for a bit.
She’s always been a focused, stubborn little girl (a trait even more apparent now that she has a brother for contrast) and its interesting to watch that develop as she grows up, if not always pleasant.
