Roughly how long does it take to change to a child’s behaviour?

Bit of background dd is 7 and her behaviour is shocking, it has gradually been getting worse for the last 6 months. She has become the worlds worst eater, has been in lots of trouble at school, argues about everything and has started hitting me this past week.

So last night I decided enough was enough and things needed to change, but today has been her worst day yet. I have introduced screen limits, more outdoor time and have been ignoring her tantrums. Just wondered if anyone has any advice on how long this will go on for and is there anything I can do to help her adjust to having proper rules and boundaries.

No worries. The fact that you are concerned enough to ask for advice here is testament that you want to do the best for your DD and you should be proud of yourself for that. I think it's great that you're seeking professional help, too. And don't forget the mantra - "This too shall pass". They are not 7 for long (thank goodness) ...
