Crying and adamant
My kid is 4 years 8 months old. For the past 1 month she has turned very adamant and cries for most of the things. For eg if she is over tired or veey hungry she has no patience to tel what she wants. She shouts and cries uncontrollably. Once her stomach is full, she doesn't trouble. Also if she wants to go out, she tells us but if we tell her to wait, she gets angry and starts crying. I don't know how to control this. We r giving her speech therapy and there is much improvement but her adamancy is going bad day by day. Please give some parenting tips.

Temper tantrums are very common in children. Identifying & Avoiding/preventing the triggers will help you. As you mentioned, in your child trigger is hunger.
Parents should not get angry/yell or give threats during temper tantrums.
Timeout therapy has to practiced by the parents. During timeout the child will not get any attention from parents, child cannot interact with her parents/anyone, fun things for the child are to removed.

Probably it's a mild ADHD behavioral issue in many toddlers which is very common rite now in many children .
Mostly it wil settle as they age u Don need any therapies.
Control or completely avoid screen time such as TV or mobile phones as they wil definitely aggravate the issue
