[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 103063, member: 3626"] And how does taking things away from her at home help her learn to control her temper? She's not going to understand the correlation between that type of punishment at home for her behavior at school. I tried your husband's method. It not did not work, it caused an escalation in school behavior. Ultimately, it caused a serious hatred of school. Try talking to the principal again and see if appropriate consequences can be thought up for her at school. Explain you are working to get her evaluated but the appointment for testing is still a bit down the road. What do you do when she has temper tantrums at home? Is there anything that works to keep some of them from happening? If so, give these tips to the teacher and principal. Do be sure that the new after-school care is aware she has problems and that you are working on getting help. It will go a long way if she has a hissy fit there. I found the more honest I was about my daughter's behavior, the more likely the day care was to work with me. First, it is time to get an IEP. If they have gifted classes, fight to get her in. If they don't, fight to get her more advanced work in class. Maybe you could contribute some work books she could use in class after she finishes the regular class work. Boredom can cause a lot of bad behavior. Another thing to check is food allergies. You can do this via elimination diets. For a week or two, record her behavior on an hourly basis (best done when school is not in session). Then, eliminate an item of food such as gluten (breads, pasta) and keep up the diary. See if there is any change. Then try eliminating food dyes. These are two of the largest culprits for behavior issues for many kids. Good luck in your battles with the school. I hope you can get the neuro-psychiatric evaluation. It really is the best way to go. [/QUOTE]
