My 5 year old is at a stage where she gets upset by everything we say. If we try to teach her, or if we correct her (wrong word, or how to do something), she immediately snaps back at us, and often breaks down and cries.  Is this a 5 year old thing?

Example:  
Her, throws something
Me: "No throwing"
her screaming: "I KNOW!!!!!"
Me: "I just want you to be respectful and not throw things"
her beginning to breakdown: "I SAID I KNOOOOOOOOWWWW!"

She also gets into this breakdown state often where she can't be reasoned with or talked to, it's really frustrating trying to communicate. She'll run and hide and not talk to us. 😞

1. How much time she gets on a device or any electronic device?
2. How much sugar?
3. Enough sleep?

I’ve found removing all electronic stimuli gives you 24 hours of hell & then they learn to have fun without 

If she throws toys, throw them in the bin. Throwing => doesn’t care about it => can be thrown away

1, 2: probably too much
3. plenty of sleep

I love throwing stuff out. Interesting.

with our son, screen time to irritated behavior are 100% correlated. it's v evident: we're default 0 screen time and so whenever he does get any, the behavior change is drastic.
