[quote=Anonymous]Last kid (of two) is 5 and she is becoming more and more challenging every day. She hits her sister (age 10) for no reason. She screams until she gets her way (yesterday it was for ice cream before dinner). She is a horrible eater. She won’t go to the bathroom by herself (we literally have to walk her there and wait until she goes). She attends preschool and is great there. She also interacts with other children and extended family fabulously. But it’s like when it’s just the 4 of us, she pushes every boundary and makes it just hard at home. I’m an older mom and have limited energy- she’s zapping me! I try to talk to her, give her options, give her consequences, praise her for good behavior - none seems to help. This is also relatively new behavior - since May or so. Nothing has changed at home or school to trigger any changes. Please tell me it’s a phase! Any tips? [/quote]
