My DD is 17 months old. She is usually a pleasant child. She will put away her toys, sing songs, share her food with us but lately she has been throwing these insane tantrums.

She refuses to get dressed in the morning and when she does she wants to pick out her own clothes and her disgusting minnie socks shes worn the previous day (yes i need to buy a million more pairs of these socks). Getting her to put on socks or pants is a struggle. She will cry and cry and distractions do not help.

When she is with her cousin (21 months) she will scream at the top of her lungs when he touches her things. I can usually distract him with something else and DD will run to the toy and "protect" it by picking it up or sitting on it. How do I avoid these things? She usually shares with everyone else but when it comes to her cousin its like sibling rivalry.

Someone please help me! Any advice would be appreciated
