[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I knew before I even clicked that you were going to be talking about a 6 or 7 yo. My DD was/is the same way. She is 8 now and we've seen a lot of improvement, I think mostly just from natural maturing. One thing we did that seemed to help back then was 15 minutes of special time with mom/dad/both EVERY SINGLE NIGHT after her younger sister went to bed. It actually did wonders for her. Although I think a lot is just temperament. It takes a lot for some kids to behave so well for 7 hours a day and it just all comes bubbling out at home, which is their safe place, as it should be. [/quote] Oh gosh, I have a soon to be 5 year old who has been like this for 2 years and I can't take 2-3 more years of this behavior (frequent melt downs, outbursts of anger, extreme swings of emotion, screaming over nothing, etc. etc.)... :( Dedicated one on one time does wonders, but it's NEVER enough.
