I am at my witts end
please somebody give me some advice!
my daughter is 5and a half and i v just had another phone call from her school teacher ( because she doesnt want to have to pull me aside a gain at the school gates!)
She is so naughty all the time, she is rough she doesnt listen i dont know what is the problem!
Dont get me wrong she is such a lovely girl most of the time but she just doesnt think when shes around other children!
She seems to always be hurting them, pushing them over or scratching them, whipping them with the skipping rope, stealing the football!
I could cry, we have the conversation as does her teacher that she needs to listen when she is being spoken to and not talk over us, she needs to be kind and thoughtfull to others and she will nod and aggree and promise to be good.... then next play time she is doin the same thing again!
She is a very bright girl and sometimes i just think maybe shes not stimulated enough, but that doesnt effect her behaviour on the play ground does it??
I worry now that shes not going to get invited to partys or to peoples houses to play and it really upsetting me.
we have tried talking calmly and reasoning with her, telling her off loudly ( i know it frowned at but sometinmes its the only way she listens) taking away privilidges, sticker charts, ignoring bad things and encouraging good things....but nothing is working.
HELP PLEASE

DS was a bit like this when he first started school - I invited lots of children to play and hung around helicoptered praising him madly when he was playing nicely and addressing any behaviour issues quickly.

You could also ask the school if they could allocate a much older child to mentor yours and encourage and model good playtime behaviour.
