My daughter is 3.5 and has two brothers, 2 and 6 months. I understand she’s been through a lot with all the changes to sharing her parents. I always try to give her a lot of time and me and my husband make an effort to do things with her on her own. Even little things like if he’s popping to the shop he will say only take her with him which makes her feel special.
For the past 6 months especially, she was slightly like this before but not this intense, her behaviour has got really bad. This has started more when her 2 year old brother has started talking more and going to other people, before this he was always stuck to me like glue.
She fights with her 2 year old brother all day every day. She’s fine with her 6 month old brother. She shouts all day and gets frustrated and then will shout im angry but not be able to communicate why or I won’t see what caused it. It can happen randomly for obviously a reason for her but not one I can pin point. She gets overexcited and can’t sit still for a second, she’s always kicking, rocking, turning, jumping etc. never stops. She gets angry/frustrated quickly and shouts at her brothers/cousins/adult family members and telling her off, asking her nicely not to do this doesn’t help. She just lies down as spins herself around and kicks and stuff.
this happens multiple times a day with me and her dad. At nursery she is fine, doesn’t do any of this. When I leave her with my mum she says she does a bit of this sometimes but when I come to get her she can see it intensify.
Is this normal? Does any one have any tips how I can manage this?
