[quote=Anonymous]I am at my wits end with what to do about my 10 year  old. She hates school but won’t tell me why. She says she hates learning - that is the most detail I can get. I talked to the teacher and she says she is doing fine and her grades are sufficient (not excelling but fine.) I went with her on a  Field trip and observed that she seemed to be getting along with other kids fine.  She hates getting out of bed. Hates going to school in the morning. She hates showering. She hates brushing her hair. And by hate, I mean she throws terrible tantrums (not appropriate for a ten year old) and goes to school dirty looking unkempt and  late.

At home, she is just angry so often. She bosses around her sister, steals from her, and occasionally lies. She throws tantrums about food choices.

She eats well,  sleeps plenty, she could exercise more but we do what we can with our schedules. She is on epilepsy  meds (for rare seizures) but otherwise healthy.

I’ve tried to  to handle this in different ways but I think it is beyond me and i wish I knew how to make her less angry and frustrated all the time. Should I ask for a guidance counselor evaluation? A psychiatrist? Any tips appreciated. [/quote]
