Don't understand my DD3.9....

i've been told DD 3.9 's behaviour at playschool is unacceptable. She doesn't listen to the teachers and will not do as she is told to the extent that the teachers have to focus on her rather than the other kids.
At home she does exactly as she wants, making everyone elses life difficult and it makes no difference if I reason/explain/shout at her. She doesn't give a sh1t about anything or anyone.
I would say that she is a happy child but she can be sullen at times. She goes to 2 different playgroups and at the newer one she says no one will play with her (which we know to be untrue) and at the 2nd one her behaviour is unacceptable.
DS 5.2 is a completely different character and they've been influenced/ brought up in the same way - so really, what I need is an insight into the mind of my lovely but challenging little girl and some tips on how to nurture/ discipline and guide and help her without resulting in me screaming my head off and crying or feeling like a horrible Mummy.....any advice

Have you approached your health visitor for advice? She might just be going through a Little Madam phase or she might have additional needs. Your health visitor or GP will be able to refer her for an assessment so you know either way and get the support you need.

I'll ring the health visitor now, thank you.
