[quote=Anonymous]OP, when this sort of bad phase happens with my kids I look at it as the demands being greater than the resources my kid has to deal with them. You can reduce demands and/or you can increase resources. One of my boys, super active--like never stops moving at home--is a total people pleaser who has never once gotten in trouble at school. I think it is probably beyond exhausting for him and I have to really make sure that he a) gets enough physical activity and b) gets tons of sleep. Otherwise, he becomes a bear. With another child, who is a real introvert, I have to limit the number of play dates (even when he asks for them!) because I know that he desperately needs a break to recharge. I think you just have to think of this balance, of the things that are not-negotiable (like school), and the other ones that are in fact completely within your control.[/quote]
