Thanks everyone.

Another question. I chatted with the mom this morning and asked her to get their stuff from inside the daycare before coming to see them in the backyard and she agreed. I also checked in re: tantrum yesterday and she said she was fine 2 mins later. This kid has these big fits and turns it on/off like a faucet. Her emotional regulation seems pretty low at times more in line with a 2 yr old!

Today, she was told that another girl gets a chance to wear the one costume she had been wearing all morning (it was put away as we were doing a craft). She flipped out and carried on and screamed/cried for close to 10 mins. I separated her and let her have her meltdown but it was pretty ridiculous.

Questions:
1) How much of this is just 3/4 yr old little girl behaviour? I ask this because my daughter who is now 4 started doing this as well but I wonder if it is "just a phase" or a learned behaviour from DCG?

2) What else can I do to curb this behaviour? I find all the kids are a bit more "dramatic" these days and blow up over little things that used to not bother them.

3) Should I have a meeting with the parents of DCG or just do what I need to do and continue to discipline her in front of her parents??
