[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is completely different in school and around others. It’s not a behavioral issue anywhere else.

It's you, OP. Point the finger at yourself. Fix yourself.[/quote]

NP. Lots of kids are obedient at school and wild at home. Where are you getting that OP needs to fix herself?[/quote]

I think what PP was trying to say is, "I have no life and know nothing about parenting but being mean to strangers is fun. That's why I'm the first poster!"[/quote]

+1, child behavioral experts will tell you that children behave worst around those they trust most, so it's very common for a child's most challenging behaviors to come out at home.

Also, as someone with a similar child, there are always things we as parents can do better to better meet our child's needs. However, kids are puzzles and just because what you are doing now isn't working doesn't mean you need to "fix" yourself. It means your kid needs something other than what you are currently offering and you need to get curious and figure out what it is. The fact that OP has tried different methods and is struggling, and is reaching out now for help, shows she's doing EXACTLY what she needs to do and looking for answers. That's a good mom.[/quote]
