It did sure have some ideas that I started using (back when I read it just before 2 when our doctor recommended it LOL!) and they did seem to stave off *most* tantrums and so forth. I do find DD more tired and cranky during spurts so I bet you are on to something. GL! I like the Spirited Child book just for insight.

I think the first week back to preschool and the fact that she hasn't taken a nap in about 6 weeks brought it on. Seriously thought the neighbors were going to think I was beating her-she screamed so loud when I gave her a "TV timeout". Thank goodness she did agree to try to take a nap and then slept for nearly 3 hours-and then of course was singing and dancing when she got up. Let us know how the Wild and Wonderful book is. I had the one from that series for 3 yr olds "Friend or Enemy?" Love the titles. Never seem to get all the way through the parenting books though. Just feel like I have to take each day as it comes. Loved the picture! Our almost 4.5 yr old had one of those complete and utterly scary meltdowns on Friday afternoon.
