I'm really worried about my DD (7). She's started hitting & biting herself when she's angry or frustrated. Today was because I said she had to read her school book before she could have her ipad.
I'm petrified it will get worse as she gets older. We can't get her to open up about her feelings and she seems to take everything so deeply and to heart.
She has also started talking negatively about people she doesn't know e.g. "that girl over there is so stupid" "those kids are idiots".
I tried a referral to CHAMS but they rejected it. DD has a physical disability so I don't know if this is a factor in how she's feeling.
I go back and forth thinking I'm too soft on her or I'm too hard on her and maybe I'm the cause because I don't really have a clue what I'm doing. God this is so hard
