Agree.

OP, have you eliminated possible physical causes for this behavior?  Sounds like you've covered the bases by talking with your pediatrician.  Also, just try to cover the basics like enough sleep, physical activity, balanced diet, and limit screen time.

[b]I would also consider have a neuropscyh evaluation.  This behavior could be just who she is but it there may be an underlying issue like ADHD or a learning disability.

And this is why we have so many excuses for so much behavior now. The child is 6. In my house she'd get a quality slap. If you don't believe in that, she'd be spending quality time (well, one minute per year of age) on the Naughty Rug with no interaction from me.

My kids are not perfect, but are always complimented on their behavior in public and from teachers. It's because of accountability on our part, and some actual parenting. Flame away. [/quote]

Nah, we don't flame stupid.[/quote]

NP here, and this is not "stupid." OP has not given us enough details to jump to the conclusion that the child needs some sort of mental evaluation. We have no idea what kind of parents OP and her DH are. Maybe they've simply been tolerating this for too long, maybe the DD is a spoiled brat, maybe she's just going through a phase.  In any case, I find a recommendation to run to a shrink over something like this to be irresponsible.  (Unless of course, this poster IS a shrink who is just trolling for new clients.)[/quote]
