[QUOTE="Boston32, post: 506267, member: 13860"] I am new to this forum but so relieved to find other parents going through the same types of issues...My 7 yr old daughter has always been challenging but the last couple of years have been awful. When she started 1st grade last year she started getting really aggressive with other kids, and one parent even moved their child out of her class because of her. Then she went to counseling and got better for awhile. She was evaluated and diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. This year started off ok and she started making friends but all of a sudden started spiraling out of control again...In the last couple of weeks she has punched/kicked/hit several kids at school or on the bus, punched and mouthed off to a teacher, become very defiant at home, throws tantrums constantly, threatens, spits, teases family members, etc. I just found her another therapist because the first one moved away...she has been without therapy for awhile so I think this may be why she is regressing. Some parents from the school have complained about her (rightfully so) and I feel like as soon as all the parents find out about this behavior no one in town will talk to me and she will get no more playdate invites. I am so embarrassed right now! I spend so much time and energy trying to do damage control, apologize to parents, have her write apology notes to others. I am emotionally drained. As a result of all this I don't really "like" her a lot of the time. I love her as she is my child but I resent her for putting us through this. My husband thinks it is horrible that I feel this way Just wondering if anyone is going through the same thing or have experienced a backlash from the community due to their child's unacceptable or unsafe behavior? I hate that her behavior is possibly going to ruin our reputation despite the fact that I have another child who's behavior is perfectly normal [/QUOTE]
