Hi,
Any one able to give any ideas on how to lessen this? Sorry this sounds really negative, but now need help!!!
i have a 5 yr old LO, initially presents happy and sings easily, but very vocal, back chatting, arguing, critical of all and sundry.
She is emotionally around 2, ( as confirmed by Family finding team)due to previous experiences and has now started to behave like a 2 year old, tempers on not getting what she wants, biting, scratching, pinching.
She asks questions, but will not listen to the answer, puts fingers in her ears, or hums under her breath! (she does this at school as well!)
she has been with us 7 weeks, I am the 3rd FC carer in 1.5 years, previously passed between BM and Grandmother,
No matter how much you ignore, change subject, try to divert attention, she just shouts you down.
Educationally, she is not meeting targets, can chant numbers and letters, but has problems in identifying them, But can colour better than me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a BC of 7 as well, who is suffering as result of this.
She bounces from 1 temper to another, and has been in this difficult place this since last week.
I really feel I want to treat her as a 2 year old, and nurture her, but will this cause more harm than good.
Any ideas will be gratefully received.
