Temper Cancer

The little one has been extremely difficult, even though she gave us her promise, she still has tantrums and fit of anger triggered by the smallest thing. 

Me: You know, you really should control your temper. 

Zaria : I try to ma, but sometimes I cannot control it 

Me: What you have is like a temper cancer you know. We try to help you but if it doesn't work, we'll have to send you to Monfort Boy School, they are like a hospital for all the temper cancer patient 

Zaria : Then when can I come back? 

Me: Until you are fully healed from temper cancer, and you can control your temper so you don't get angry so easily 

Zaria : But cancer cannot be cured right? o.O" 

Anyone has any suggestion on how to cure Temper Cancer? 

We try to speak to her nicely, it doesn't work. 

Taking away privileges, it doesn't work. Punishing her, it doesn't work. 

We kept telling her we all love her, she knows it, and starts feeling sorry and sobs, but then it's easily forgotten, and next day, the cycle repeats. 

She's only like this at home, at school, she's always conceding, no teachers have ever complained about her except that she day dreams sometimes. 

I just hope this is a phase she's going through, and it'll be over soon.
