[QUOTE="nvts, post: 79648, member: 3814"] Hi! This is such a brutal subject. 8 years old and faced with this! I feel so bad for both of you. First: tell her to try and pick something that she knows the other kids at school don't like. Yelling, hitting, pushing, bossiness, rudeness, etc. Let her pick ONE specific thing to change. She's 8 now, so she can keep her own checklist at school. Second: once she picks 1 thing, tell her to put a check mark on a piece of paper for everytime she felt like doing it, and stops herself. Have a "treasure & treat" chest ready for her to come home to. Start small: cook with you, stickers, stuff from the $1.00 store, etc. will help her. Third: keep praising her, let her know that you support her and that you're proud of what she's doing. DON'T LECTURE! Just remind her that she's doing this so she can meet friends. We have been through this and we're working on it with the boys. We explained that the kids reaction is a direct result of the choices that they've made and now it's up to them to fix. Good luck!
