Help my four year old's attitude has completely changed over the past week any advice?

my daughter although always bossy has become extreamly sensitive latley when ever she gets mad, which seems to be all the time so goes into rampages saying she doesn't like me or any one. She tells me she's going to go live at her friends out and refuses to come out of her room. how do I deal with this?

Answers:
It seems she's trying to guilt you into something. Was she not allowed to go somewhere or get something like a toy or treat recently? If that's not the case, she may have had someone tell her they didn't like her & she's mirroring that phrase on to you. This could be especially true if she's bossy!

When she refuses to leave her room, make it a little less comfortable in there. As she throws fits, take away cherished items like toys, videos, games, ect...If this persists, remove her door so long as she's not sharing her room with a sibling. This child does not need to share her punishment.

Finally, every time she says she hates you, remind her of how much you love her. A positive reaction to such a negative statement may throw her off balance.
