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. 😞

I’m familiar. She’s going to give you wrinkles early but she’s going take care of herself out in the world.
