[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So my daughter, who as far as we know is neurotypical, is very difficult. She is incredibly impulsive, and when she is upset, she makes rash decisions that result in unkind and defiant behavior. She has friends, but doesn't always treat them well. I worry constantly when in social situations with her (obviously not an issue now) that she will be unkind, actively not listen, or be the ring leader of unwanted behavior. She absolutely does not care at all about consequences. We also notice that the more strict and severe we are, the worse her behavior gets. We don't want to ignore bad behavior though, either. She is very smart, does well academically, makes friends, but playdates aren't reciprocated and I fear that her terrible attitude is catching up with her. Home life is generally quite happy, despite her difficult personality.

I see other sweet, kind first grade girls and worry about why my daughter is like this. She has not always been this way-- but it's been about a year and a half or so. It makes me sad that I find her so challenging and I worry for her in the future. Do tough first graders turn into impossible teenagers? What do I do about this?[/quote]

Op,

This is a moment for [b]intersection[/b].  It’s been over a month since your Dd has interacted with peers and several more months at least before she does again, yet most of your post is about your worries about her social interactions.  Honestly, I have no idea why your daughter is so “difficult” but you need to look at your own anxiety before you consult anyone for your kid.[/quote]
