My 5 Year Old Is Freaking Out About Traveling over the Holidays

Each year me and my 2 girls travel from MA to NC to visit my family over New Years. For whatever reason this year my 5 year old is adamant about NOT going.

Help with a 6 Year Old

I need help with my 6 year old he's outta hand. He likes to tell me waht to do and not to listen to me. Any time you tell him to do something he throws a fit. If he doesn't get his own way in school he throws a temper tantrum. If you ground him all he says his I'm telling on you. His dad doesn't help me any either because when he does go see his dad he gets his way and he walks all over his dad and his dad thinks that's okay. Please help me deal with him.

She loves school and has nothing but good things to say about her teacher and classmates so I dont think thats it, we thought...
