Very concerned about DD12. She often seems to make really poor choices in her actions - for example leaving her guinea pig on a high stool and walking off… she means well - in this instance she wanted to get her pet a treat from the fridge. But not recognising the potential consequences of her actions.
This happens often - she is impulsive. ( I know all children are impulsive but this contrasts significantly from her younger sibling in the frequency and intensity).
Then if she is picked up on the behaviour ( not shouting or a ‘telling off’ but ) for example me picking up the GP and explaining what could have happened then she will self harm ( hit herself) and/ or shut herself away and hide.
is anyone else finding similar in their tweens or is this more likely to be a SEN issue ( for what it’s worth she’s a high achiever and doing brilliantly at school). I just don’t know where to go from here?
