Hi, some advice please, my dd2 is really angry with me a lot of the time and her behaviour is terrible, every no turns in to her kicking, head butting and hitting me. She is also terribly stubborn for example it took us one and half hours to do a ten minute walk today because she was cross at me.

She is the middle child, will soon be five and is in reception, her behaviuor has been getting worse for a while, we moved and she started school very close together and I thought that she was upset about the changes in her life, but now it is just getting terrible, I hate taking her out because it's just hard work.

Also I am finding myself 'walking on eggshells' as not to upset her for an easier life but then that is not fair on my other two children. I have never smacked any of my children and would say I'm quite a relaxed parent but I am totally lost at the moment, and I think she knows that. She does get one to one attention as my husband and I try our best.

All advice welcomed please.

Should say that at the moment I send her to her bedroom when she has been nasty as sitting her on the step resulted in our hall way being wrecked. Also she can be very angry and will break things, even things that she cares about in anger.
