I got her thru the initial stubborn phase by telling her whatever she wanted to do was fine and that she could go sit in her room, read a book and think about her decision. In the meantime I would remove the offending "thing" from her immediate vision. After about 2-3 days she would wonder where it went and we would talk about how she never wanted anything to do with it, so I rid her of it's evil ways forever. Eventually she learned that the temper tanrum got her nothing but fewer toys...and now she tells the toys she needs them to take a break when she gets frustrated. Oh, and my dad told her he would give her to the gypsies, which helped as well (Papa is larger than life). Hang in there - it's all so fun and too short-lived.

I remember the old 'IMNEVERGONNAS' and it seems to be something that most kids go through at that age.They are starting to realise that they can actually control their environment,and what better way to do it than with a big,loud decleration of high drama!While I do think that the jealousy someone mentioned can be a factor-my daughter used her own phrase if she thought I was coming down on the 'side' of someone else by telling her no-I think its mainly just him seeing how much he can control what is happening and also letting out a little frustration,like going out back at work and cussing after a particularly bad customer!Its no reflection on anything you guys are or are not doing,and the less fuss you make the better.I found a simple,'oh,ok then.' and letting them calm down worked pretty good.He seems like a greatkid,and you a great mom,dont sweat it!

I don't think we have a very bad raccoon problem around here though, so we don`t have to deal with them steeling it. If you lived near the ocean, my dad used to put his skulls into the water off of a dock and the crabs and other sea life would pick them clean. I think your best bet would just be to hang it from a tree with some sort of contraption to anchor it down like you mentioned. I have no really good suggestions for the "IMNEVERGONNAS" since I think Hannah is doing her own "girlie drama" version, She doesn't say it in the absolute, but she'll drop to her knees and say something to the effect like "I'll never get to do that ever again". I think they are just trying to become comfortable in their own little bodies, wrangle their emotions and see what they can get away with. Just make sure your simply validating his decision and emotions, but don't go overboard trying to "fix it". He'll get a kick out of you jumping through hoops to make him happy and he'll learn to keep it up. I know Hannah is beginning to play with her "power" over her surroundings lately (oh, she's in the same age group...3 in December). Good luck girl. I know you've got a better idea of parenting than most, so just remember, you'll both get through it. ~M~ With my husbands deer antlers we always hang the skulls from any tree in the yard (basically sit them in the crook of a tree).

Kid: I'MNEVERGONNA!!!!!!!! Us: I see that you're really frustrated about . What can we do to make it better? It's really cool to see the kids start to shift from the ANGER RARR! to being more articulate about their feelings and asking for help figure them out. It may not always work (of course it won't!) but it definitely provides a framework for dealing with it.
