Hi all,
I have a very recently turned 6 year old DD And for over a year now my family and my DD’s father and his partner all think that she has some form of behavioural issues.
When it was being heavily raised by them I spoke to my DD school and raised the concerns and they said that there is nothing in her behaviour to indicate anything.
The reason they have all expressed this is because she can go from calm to angry with very little warning.
She will do full on rage screaming when she doesn’t get her own way and she does physically lash out (mostly with her father although the lashing out doesn’t always happen).
I know this will sound bias cos I am her mum, but she picks things up really quickly. She’s a very fast learner. She got a watch for her birthday and by the end of the day she could tell you when it was 5, 10, quarter past/to the hour by the end of the day. Her reading level is that of early year 2 and she seems to know more maths than I do (although I sucked at it). She is very aware of her feelings and others (usually).
Ive digressed a bit here. So the reason I’m posting all this today. Today my DD was mean to my partners 9 year old daughter constantly, bossing her around not letting her decide things and just generally unpleasant. At the end of the day my partners daughter told me she didn’t know what to do because this was not a side of my daughter she has seen before. She shouted at other small children who she did not know while at the park, she threw temper tantrums out of no where and bounced back to happy and cheeky before you had caught up with her after she ran off. She’s screamed with rage and thrown things and she’s got my family all back on to saying she needs to be tested for behavioural issues.
Is she just being a 6 year old? Who’s maybe just having a bad day/ week/ year (She has unfortunately been bullied a lot. All through reception two kids targeted her and now in year 1 another kid has started to hit her too (the school is on it)) She’s my first and only child. So right now I’m feeling lost with all these people telling me this that and the other.
Surely if she did have behavioural issues the school would have picked up on this by now?
