What age are they now and what are they like?
DD is 4 & awful. No respect for me, hits, bites, scratches, runs away, totally wild. We have at least a couple of episodes like this each day. She can be lovely & sweet the rest of the time.
Yes I do try & discipline her before someone comes along & tells me to try that. No the naughty step doesn’t work, she laughs in my face & runs off.
She comes from a loving, consistent, stable background. We try to have fun but we do have standards eg things like TV & sweets are limited, she is expected to say please & thank you and eat nicely at the table etc. That kind of thing. We’re not a feral family.
She’s been at a very good private pre-school & they raised no issues & she got an excellent report, noting she’s above average in many respects.
She starts reception in September.
Does this sound like normal / a phase?!
Or should I have deeper concerns?!
