I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who responded to my post regarding Dd and her tantrums/screaming. I showed Dh this post last night and we decided to mash everything up and test it out lol. When she screams/throws tantrum we're going to look her the eyes and firmly tell her no and then ignore her behavior to show that she will not get any reaction/reward for behaving that way... We'll see how it goes-we're testing it out beginning last night and I let the babysitter know as well. This morning she did pretty well. She seemed shocked when she started screaming at me for her breakfast and I told her "No, You do not yell at me." and surprisingly she stopped. So, so far, so good.

Again though, thank you so much for all of your advice. Fingers crossed this works and I don't have to resort to beating her... lol. That was obviously a joke haha. Thank you!!!
