[quote=Anonymous]Kids don't come with a parenting manual. Sometimes. They are just easy and any kind of parenting works, sometimes through trial and error or an approach you read about you find a way, other times you need expert input to help figure out how best to parent this child. And you have to accept that what your child needs may run completely counter to what your natural parenting style is or what your philosophy on parenting is. You have to figure out what works for this kid.

Something at school works. She is regulated there.  Is it structure, boundaries, clear expectations, following other kids? Talk to her teachers and see what they do. It may not be fully transferable to home but will give you ideas.

I would definitely work with someone. This dynamic is having a significant impact on your life and some expert input can improve this for everyone. It is no fun for the child either to feel so angry or out of control.

Getting help doesn't in any way mean you aren't a good parent, it is just an important resource to figure out what a healthy parenting approach is for this child.[/quote]
