6 year old DD behaviour changed!

[williteverstopraining2024]

6 year old little girl my god she is pushing my buttons this holiday!
What's an ideal form of discipline for this age range?
She's having meltdowns, smacking her younger brother, not sharing, constantly telling me no - she was upstairs having a meltdown before and then said to me get out and put my light on - to which I said no unless you ask politely - queue a 20 minute meltdown of how horrible I am hysterically crying!
She did the same yesterday as I said she couldn't have one of my lipsticks on the floor having a massive tantrum!

Her behaviour hasn't been like this before! It's not like she hasn't had attention over the holidays or hasn't been stimulated, she just seems to be really hard work and quite mean.

Is time out beneficial for this age? Or removing toys?

She will then realise how she's been and acted and write apology notes to me and makes me little cards

I would be wondering if everything was OK with her and had anything happened?
Maybe have a day just the two of you and see how her behaviour is then?

I just said that to my partner that maybe she needs some one on one time but she has had this in the holidays whilst youngest been at nursery.

Also thinking if sugar might be playing a party as she's been at grandparents and camps etc with more sweets than normal!

Maybe it's just the lack of routine from not being at school. Over tired?

Is she anxious about going back to school?

No she loves school

My 5.5 year old has been the same this weekend @williteverstopraining2024 and she's had lots of one to one time too. It's so draining.

Maybe she's sick of the sight of me 🤣🤣🤣

If she's been out a lot does she just need a few days at home pottering about?

My DCs' behaviour tends to get worse towards the end of the holidays. I put it down to lack of their usual structure and routine- could this be a factor?

@PolaroidPrincess I've really tried to mix it up and if I say we are staying home she moans haha can't win!

I think @renthead maybe they are in a really good routine with sleep and school etc

I've reached out to her school friends mum see if I can arrange a little get together to see if that might help she might be missing them x

My DC used to moan about staying home but I think a bit if boredom does them good
