Not sure where to start!
My 8 year old daughter has always been ‘difficult’ (but like her mum!). I just don’t know what to do. She is rude to me and all family adults - and firmly told off when she is - she is belligerent, disobedient, lies.
I tell her off when needed. I have been trying to remember to praise her when she is helpful, kind etc.
She irritates her brother constantly - she loves to sing but can’t do it quietly which winds him up (ASD issues here and so it’s added pressure), she keeps going into his room, she touches everything - esp if it’s not hers.
I just don’t know where to go from here. I’ve said to hubby I’ll take her to the doctors but he’s not sure they can do anything. I am at the end of my tether with her.
I love her dearly but really don’t like her very much and struggle daily.
Please help me be a better mum and begin to like my daughter again
