How do you disiple your 4 1/2 yo?!

All of a sudden she's in her own world!

Any suggestions? Is it a phase? We thought she's getting jealous of her sister, but she's now turning 2 (this week), but I have been trying to keep party prepping minimal, since it's only our small family.

She's excited about preK & loved the open house last week (went to preschool last year too & loved it)

I just don't get it cause it's never been an issue.
I feel like it's destroying her, & me, & that we are all on egg shells.

Yup, I just posted about this recently. My 4.5 yr old DS is a noghtmare lately. Whiny, cranky, horrible listening, even hitting! He also has an 18 month old sister and I think his jealousy has a lot to do with it. I'm disappointed in how I have been handling his behavior. I have zero patience for it and it makes me feel like a monster at times. I want my sweet baby back Prating it's a phase.
