claflamme

Well school is still going well, She is still speaking mostly in school when she needs to. Occasionally she will have a shut down or a freeze we call it where if she is anxious or angry about something and she will just stare at you and not speak until the issue is resolved.
And at home things haven't gotten much better she is now having much more violent tantrums where she has begun to hit her thighs very hard and her head sometimes. She screams very loudly and just says no alot and yells and is very mean to her older sister which is very strange. Because no one ever sees this behavior at school she is very easy going at school. No tantrums at school. when she does have a tantrum it will last anywhere from 10-30 minutes.
But I did find a psychologist finally and she likes to see her and is happy seeing her.
I have tried setting up a place in the house for her to tantrum in so she can hit bean bags instead of herself but prefers not to use it. And recently starting to hit others and hurting other people. Very unlike her.
I am just trying to find ways to avoid the tantrums in the 1st place but everything sets them off. For example not being able to get her shoe on right or do her zipper those things will start a tantrum or not sitting in the middle of the couch.
And her older sister loves to torture her and get her going for fun.
And she does it with a smile too. Not a nice thing to do either.
Thanks for reading.
