Hi, I am a single mother of a 2 1/2 year old saltwasting girl, who has incredible temper tantrums, she throws things, hits, you name it. The only thing I can do with her is send her to her room and she can't come out till she is a "happy girl". There is definitely some correlation between when our childrens levels are off and mood swings, her meds have been change twice in the last 9 months and it has been prior to the increase of hydrocortisone that her moods and hyper activity have been at their worst. I have many friends with children of similar age, plus she attends daycare, and compared to these kids my girl is like a whirlwind. However she is an extremely bright child, with vivid imagination, its just a matter of coping, noting mood swings and trying to teach her how to deal with things in a more acceptable manner. Very trying at times I know. Karen
