Hi my DD was 7 in march. In the last few weeks she has developed quite a temper and lashes out. If she doesn't get her way when she's playing with her sister she hits her and if I ask her to do something she screams no and throws whatever she's holding on the floor or across the room Depending on what she's done I send her to her room or tell her why she shouldn't do it which again results in her having a mini tantrum and shouting I don't love her. We're a very huggy family and we tell each other several times a day that we love each other. She completely ignores any instructions I ask her nicely to do such as this morning she was running ahead on a walk me and her aunty were telling her to slow down and come back to us as there was a large group of cyclists. She just turned and looked at us and ignored us so the cyclists had to slow and carefully go around her. I know kids are kids but she does it with everything. She said she did hear us but didn't know why she didnt do it. I've tried calmly talking to her asking if there's anything bothering her and she has no answer as to why she does it. How do I get her to understand? It makes anything we do a nightmare. Every day she's hitting or taking toys off her younger sister. I try to spend time with both of them and all of us together so I know she is also getting my attention so it can't be from that. She needs to be back at school and I'm sure some of the frustration is from the situation we're all in but I don't know how to calm her temper.
