Oh wise ones of mumsnet, please help me!
8 yo dd is just wild - I think I need to source some professional help but I don't know where to begin. Here's a summary-
Always been an anxious and emotional child but seems to be getting worse. She's 8 and won't even go on a play date without me. Most children were excited about the end of term, dd was distraught about leaving year 3 and her teacher and has been stressing about going up to year 4 for a while.
I try to be very patient with her and mostly we manage ok and I can handle it.
What I can't handle is the latest developments where she's so highly strung that she gets so cross with people (mainly I see it with her sisters) and shouts at them because she feels they have slighted her - I don't believe she behaves this extremely at school, but I suspect it simmers. She is then furious that they don't want to play with her and we go round and round in circles - today she was so distraught she was jumping and punching the sofa and screaming. Once she gets like this it simmers all day and the slightest thing sets it all off again.
She refuses to listen to any explanations or others propels side - shouts over me, covers her ears, runs and hides. No matter how gently I try it always escalates. She has real issues with 'telling anyone' about any issues/upsets/tellings off - for example tonight I handed over to Dh at 9 as I couldn't take anymore and explained to him something she was yelling about as he wouldn't have been able to understand.
Please help - how do I get her some help?
