My dd1 7yr has been having nightmares every night for almost 2 months now. She had always had difficulties sleeping ( unless she is in with me and dh) and when over tired can have night terrors, but this had been different- hallucinating, screaming, thrashing around, but definitely awake. She is very academic and doing y 4 work at school (she is y2) that until recently has never been a problem for her, I have spoken to school and her teacher wax very understanding but said she us often miserable and 'very serious'. She used to love learning and now she doesn't even put her hand up. However she is also very volatile at home, miserable one minute, hyper the next. Extremely jealous of dd2. Has tantrums when she doesn't get her own way, grumpy about everything that doesn't meet her expectations. Can't calm down once she gets hyper. When I talk to her about it she says she just can't be good, the maths is too hard and I upset her when I shout. ( which I do unfortunately) her behaviour at home is awful sometimes.
Advice needed- do I just be there for her or does she need councilling or some sort? Both her and her teacher have assured me she is not being bullied
