My 7 year old girl resorts to violence (hitting, kicking, throwing and slamming) at the merest provocation.
For example this morning it's because her elder sister is going in to school later than her. Which also then morphed into "I don't like porridge"
I have started to dread every weekend as the screaming and tantrums start almost the minute she wakes up.
It is obviously impacting the whole family and is very unfair on her 11 year old sister who is starting to have meltdowns herself.
She is fine at school and is bright and well behaved.
We have spoken to her teachers but I now feel we need more specialist professional help.
Does anyone have experience of anything similar and what approaches helped.
