[Giving advice to a woman whose 3-year-old daughter throws temper tantrums all the time]
Is there anything in your house or your life that could have drawn unclean things in?
& if you believe in generational curses as I do...seeking the Spirit about them for you & your spouse's family line might be another direction to go.
Ultimately her parents will be the ones that can truely sense whether this is coming from the natural realm of the supernatural realm

Witch! Burn her!
Maybe the kid just has too much pent-up energy and needs to get more exorcise.
;^p
Seriously, generational curses? What is this, the freakin' middle ages? She's 3 years old , and tantrums are what toddlers do! Yes, it's unnerving, but looking into the supernatural for causes or solutions won't help, and may very well hurt the situation. Better to read a few mainstream sources on child psychology instead.

"Is there anything in your house or your life that could have drawn unclean things in?"
Yeah, my shoes. I stepped in something the other day and tracked that unclean stuff all over my carpet.
"& if you believe in generational curses as I do..."
A sure sign you're one of the best and the brightest.
"seeking the Spirit about them for you & your spouse's family line might be another direction to go."
So, if her grampa had an unclean thought back in the 60s, he could be the source of her tantrums? Yeah, that sounds likely.
"Ultimately her parents will be the ones that can truely sense whether this is coming from the natural realm of the supernatural realm"
Huh? The "natural realm of the supernatural realm?"
Do you mean, natural OR supernatural? That's an easy one, as there is no supernatural realm.
Hand me that clue by four, please.
1. Give the kid something interesting to do, preferably and if possible outside in the sun
2. Give kid something interesting to put in their head
3. Give kid good food and less junk
4. Give kid equal portions of hugs and loving discipline.
If she still throws tantrums, I'm lost. I don't have kids for chrissake, gimme a break.
I found with my daugher (she'll be three in January) that if she throws a tantrum and you just ignore her until she stops, they lessen in frequency quite quickly. Although, praying may work to as they'll go from screaming to laughing.
But yeah, the word 'NO!', when followed through, works quite well without exorcising my house.
Maybe the kid just has too much pent-up energy and needs to get more exorcise .
;^p
Ugh! This is a teacher humour-level pun >_<
But anyway, yeah, she should read a bit about parenting and child psychology, perhaps seek professional advice from a pediatrist (could help her avoid guides like [fstdt=16386]this[/fstdt]), and if things don't get better have the kid checked for hyperactivity.
Good old fashioned spanking would help, not an exorcism. - honestchristian
Understanding the cause of the tantrum can frequently work to mitigate it. I've seen parents exasperated with kids throwing tantrums in the grocery store. Frequently, it had less to do with the child wanting something and more to do with him/her being overly tired.
I made a point of not dragging my kids around on errands when they were in need of rest, or for that matter, play.
I never had to hit them, and I never had to put up with tantrums.
Violence is the last resort of the incompetent.
My mother-in-law used to tell me that my rings or shirts with skulls on them were "inviting unclean spirits into my heart".
At least she wasn't convinced that my lineage is cursed.
Someone probably rented a 'Harry Potter' movie and that's why your kid is freaking out. No need to take her to a doctor or see if there is something psychological going on. Yep, demons did it. That's much easier.
I believe in generational curses. The stupid had to come from somewhere.
Alternatively, if you prefer to believe the "sins of the father" crap over causality, maybe the parents can cure her by blowing snot rockets at each other. Just trying to be helpful.
THE ANTICHRIST IS UPON US!!! RUN, SCURRY, FLEA! ARMAGEDDON IS HEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Or you know, it could just be a whiny 3 year old.
Pick them up in a bear hug? Worked wonders with my sister.
(Then again, my sister tended to wedge herself between the coffee table and sofa, and I didn't want her hitting her head on anything hard. If they aren't doing that, you probably can just leave 'em alone, but hugging does help stimulate the happy hormones in the brain.)
"Is there anything in your house or your life that could have drawn unclean things in? "
Yes, it's called a three year old.
Doesn't your holy book say what to do with unruly children?
Deuteronomy 21:18-21
No wait, please don't take your bible literally....
Confused?
