how do I stop this behavior?

Question

Lately when my 4 yr old daughter gets angry or frustrated she will tense up her body and shake while her face is scrunched up and she grits her teeth really hard. Now I don't mind her being upset, I don't mind her expressing her anger, but the teeth gritting is pissing me off. Makes me cringe every time! She does it so hard and loud it sounds like she's could break a tooth! I find it upsetting and I really wish she would stop before she does some damage. Any advice as to how to handle this new behavior?

Answer

If it hurt she wouldnt do it. Ignore it and she will stop.

Answer

If you give her a reaction she'll keep doing it for the attention. Ignore her and leave the room if needed

Answer

Oh my gosh, my little sister did this! She would also squeeze in her nose and shake. It was kinda funny but definitely on the weird side. She did this until she was probably 6... I'd definitely try to get her to stop with the teeth thing as that's not good
