[quote=Anonymous]Taking away her party will not improve her behavior. Equally important: having a party will not cause her behavior to worsen, or send a message that her behavior is OK. The two are really unrelated, especially in the mind of a 6 year old.

I think you may be dismissing the transition to Kindergarten too quickly. Kindergarten is hard. For some kids, it takes everything they have to hold it together and meet the expectations all day. Then at home they fall apart because that is their safe place.

If you are really at your wits end, make an appointment with a child psychologist. Likely within a few appointments the psychologist could give you some strategies that will help, and be able to rule out that anything big is going on. When my son was being difficult in Pre-K we saw someone 6 or 7 times total. The first 3 or 4 appointments were weekly, then after we had a behavior plan in place we did follow ups as needed. I really helped us get through a rough patch. He didn't get diagnosed with anything, BTW.[/quote]
