when stubborness is just too much

So my almost 4 year old has hit a horrible phase. She's never really had what I would consider the "terrible twos or even threes" until now... Just last month I remember bragging to my mom, just how much I was enjoying KayLee's age. It was as if this totally new little adult emerged. She was such a great little girl. She was listening and helping. Everything was perfect. I was enjoying our little conversations, her views on different things and even her overly helpful messes. I thought, wow, my baby is getting big and changing into a little girl and not that little baby anymore.

Wrong! It's been two weeks now and not only has my little baby left me, but now my little lady has left me too. In her place is a stubborn and defiant half baby half lady.

Mom's out there, help! How long does this last? And how can I get through it? I hate scolding my child...honestly because I hate to hear her cry. Crying tears at my heart and makes me feel so bad. But...I don't want my little girl growing up without the correct level of discipline. But what is that?
