Hi mums
My 4 year old who I will confess is a bit of a brat has always enjoyed her nursery since she started at age 3.recently I've increased her day to a full day to help ease her into being in reception in September.
Since she's been having lunch at school she's been crying that she doesn't want to eat and doesn't want to be in reception and also crying before school, after school and at all times of the day where her mind has a few mins to spare! It has been weeks and I've gone from talking to her calmly to shouting at her to just get on with it it's part of becoming older.(I know this isn't right!)
I've spoken to her a lot and from what she explains she doesn't like lunch time because nursery and reception all sit together in the big hall and it's the reception teachers that supervise. One of the assistants said to her that if she doesn't eat quickly she'll be last to go off and play. Another time she got told to finish all her lunch. That hit her ego she always wants to be first and the best and whenever someone compliments her she'll say we'll it's because I'm clever and I'm the best 
! So now she's upset at being challenged by a teacher she isn't used to. She knows it's a reception teacher and therefore she doesn't want to move into reception or have lunch and is hell bent on driving me mad with this nonsense day and night.
She's always been spoilt and a big part of it is that she pretty much grew up with my parents looking after her from age 1 whikst I was at work. she was spoilt and pampered and every whinge and tear pandered to. She's also the first grandchild for them. Now that I have reduced days I spend a lot of my time having to undo what she's learned, her natural personality also has a lot to do with it too.
I just don't k ow how to communicate with her I struggle at the best of times with her personality but I really don't have time for pep talks about one teacher giving her instructions multiple times a day.
Any advice on how to tackle this please?
