I’m out of ideas.
DD went back to school today, 9 - 1.40. She’s had a really bad cough for about a week now and she came out of school exhausted.
She hasn’t stopped screaming, shouting, demanding, whining and moaning.
To be fair she’s like this pretty often but this has been for the longest period in a while. I’ve punished (no tv, no treat etc) and got her to go to her room to calm down but every punishment just escalates it and sending her to her room makes her feel abandoned (she’s already jealous her 2 year old sister gets to stay home with me while she’s at school). I’ve tried to offer hugs and talk but it only works for a few minutes and then she’s back to screaming and shouting.
Someone give me some idea of something I can do. I hate seeing her so lost and out of control.
