Hi so my seven year old had a great day no issues. Then asked if she can watch tv while eating dinner she was told no as we eat at the dinner table. Now she has been throwing a tantrum for like half hour stomping screaming and just plan throwing things at the wall. I don't know how to handle this. I've put her in her room but it seems like every tantrum is getting worse and now the three year old is copying her I feel like I'm stuck in this never ending loop. He father and I split like five years ago and she goes out there on weekends. But he has no rules and gives her anything as she as she starts the fit I'm so lost and I don't know what to do. Help

ignore her, ignore bad behavior praise the good, aslong as she’s not hurting herself or anyone around her just ignore but if she is hurting herself or anyone then just do what your doing and simply remove her from the situation without saying anything, maybe just get down to her level and simply say Stop and give her a no emotion stare , this usually works on my toddler and makes him feel really awkward. also with tv try to allow very low stimulation programs

she’s tantruming because she wants a reaction out of you, don’t give in x
I've been trying the get down to her but she ends up hitting me so at that point I have to bring her to her room to get her to be alone and calm down but it has been so hard with the two different rule sets I allow some shows but not anything she wants there is limits. But with her father there is no limits so when I put my firm no down she get very mad
