4 year old is obsessed with being in control

Seeking Advice

My 4 year old is obsessed with being in control. For example, it is boiling in here so my husband turned on the AC. Our daughter said no air conditioner and immediately turned it off. We have had long talks with her about not touching it which she obviously does not listen to. She wants the complete opposite of what you tell her to do and I am tired.
