Have name changed for this one as pretty sure some RL friends have worked out my usual MN name.
My dd is 7, almost 8. She has an elder brother who teases her, but we are trying to work on this.
The main problem is that if we ask her to do anything, she seems to get really stressed, this can escalate very quickly and she can become violent. Time out can work, but if she really can't calm down, sometimes, like last night, only a hug will do. She even admitted she couldn't calm down by herself.
So is this normal for a girl or is it a sign that she has need of some additional help?
