Five year old being aggressive towards mum

[shanavine]

Hi I'm a grandad of a nearly five year old girl.
Her mum 26 , a student nurse lives with me
I don't stay there all the time, I work full-time and have a partner a hours drive away
That is all for context.
The five year old gets aggressive with her mum if asked to do anything.
Physically hits her even in front of people, which is new.
We are awaiting psychologist appointment.
But it appears to be all behavioral.
She is very good in school and for her nanny most of the time.
She does not care about the bold step, having her things removed.
Neither does rewards help.
She appears to get very angry at times and it's unable to regulate this.

Bump

How new is this? And might sound a bit odd, what year is your daughter in? Does this get worse if she's on placement so a bit confusing for her if mum's not there at bed time/waking up?

Are there any particular times of day she does this? Is she in before/after school club if her mum is at uni?

My 5 year old (nearly 6) is getting better now but used to have huge tantrums as soon as he got home from after school club - a mix of tiredness/hunger/being good at school all day.

Any time of the day really
But more pronounced at bedtime.
Mum is there putting her to bed and gets her up every day.

One of mine was like this. He has grown out of it.
