She hates me, she complains every time I put food on the table, she screeches, she has pushed her little sister down the stairs. Basically her behaviour can be ghastly. We have been using a smiley/grumpy face chart which has been quite helpful... up to a point. Recently she would have been getting many more grumpy faces for hitting her sister, kicking her dad, being rude to me...
On the other hand, she can be very kind and considerate and she does respond and say sorry. I think it is something she is going through at the moment and it's hard for her. It's hard for me and her dad too, and I do not know how to ease her mind. I feel like a lousy parent and I'm really upset.
