To OP
It surely is a tween thing and it will pass.
Been there, done that, gone thru the trauma.
Trust your instincts, give in where u think it is justified and hold out when u think it is not! But be prepared to rough out the storm.
As a mother u r best person to take that call, but the most important thing is to always stay involved no matter how difficult it is.
There r times when u will feel to distance urself from the whole things and to care less because the tantrums do take their toll on u emotionally but as a parent u cannot do that!
U r a goldsmith and ur child is a jewel, ur constant hammering and molding will result in a beautiful piece no matter how hard the resistance is
