My dd1 is 3. She's turned into a whiny, grumpy mess in the past month
or so. She cries for anything and everything. She's hitting her sister
for no reason at all. We are trying to not scream at her or punish her
because that only aggravates the situation. I try to act as if her
tantrums don't get to me. It's a daily struggle these days. I hope it's
just a phase. I have only empathy for you :)

Children are individuals, but three is a difficult age. It's actually
more difficult than the *terrible twos* for most parents.

I know people talk about the terrible twos, but certainly my three kids
seemed to be at their most volatile at age 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 or so. My
middle kid in particular was really, really difficult. He was a major
crabby fusspot, he had all these rules and rituals, he was easily
frustrated etc.

I don't think you are alone.
