[QUOTE="julierose24, post: 559055, member: 15387"] Hey everyone. I need some advice. When my daughter (6) has her meltdowns/tantrums over anything and everything -what should I be doing? She will not stay in her room. She kicks the door if we close her in (I'm worried she might hurt herself). If we let her out around the house, she tries to destroy my house -throws everything in sight, pulls everything out of drawers, etc. We've tried ignoring her, but she follows us from room to room -hitting, pushing, etc. I can't let her destroy my house, or hurt others. Today, I held her down until it was over. I tried using the least amount of restraint possible -sat hovering over her holding her hands above her head on her bed. While this worked as far as her not being able to hurt me, and me not hurting her while being able to hold her -her meltdown was much worse until it was over. I just kept telling her that I loved her and trying to get her to take deep breaths. Now she is fine. What can I do? I don't want to restrain her. I don't want her to destroy my house and break everything. I don't want her hurting others. [/QUOTE]
