Nearly 4 year old - frustration and hitting

I don't have any advice sadly but think you're already doing the best thing in helping her to feel heard :-)
I am on the same page. But there was no break in the routine. So i hope is just developing phase, because is so hard. Oh and he is different with his dad, than with me (i am the one who he is trying to kick or hit when something is not going like he wants)
It’s amazing how much of an effect having a routine has on the children ! Especially during the holidays where there is no routine ! Hopefully back in a routine helps but I’d also recommend buying a book ! There’s tons on Amazon about behaviour x
My little girl is going through this at the moment I’m finding it really hard! She stomps and growls and huffs at everything - apparently her pre school have told her to stomp her feet if she’s feeling angry! I understand this is probably so she doesn’t resort to hitting or anything else but I don’t like it at all!! X
Yes! We've had a lot of foot stomping. We have also returned from a big Christmas trip where he spent a lot of time with family he doesn't see often so change of routine but also getting spoilt by grandparents so we wondered if it's a bit of an attention thing. When he does use his words, he says things like "mummy, I was talking to you!" Or "why is it like that?!!!" (if we zip his coat up higher than he likes 😀) so I guess it is developmental and he's just learning to voice his preferences 😀
