My DD is suspected of having Adhd\autism which isn't a complete shock as her dad has it. She is an only child for context. At home she is perfectly fine (low attention span, fidgets, emotional etc. But not violent like she is at school).
School have reported that she is hitting other students, kicking and in one case even bit someone. When I've talked to her sometimes it has been an issue I could understand why she would (still explained wrong and she should go to a teacher) however sometimes it's as simple as not playing the game how she wants. School reported a few months ago she was popular and had lots of friends however today is a different story. All this week other students have refused to play with her and called her stupid.
I'm at a loss and wondered if anyone had any ideas please?
I have already:
Done an example of how to apologise to her friends
Talked about the bodies response to anger and how to recognise her anger
How she can deal with e.g. Count to ten, deep breaths, walk away, ask a teacher for help "I feel angry".
I have a themometre chart at home where we move it up and down and discuses stages what to do to calm down.
She has a behaviour line as well.
It's really hard seeing her so upset and lonely but she's caused it herself I know but just really want to help her repair and maintain those relationships.
No changes at home either. Apparently some classroom chanees though.
