[QUOTE="Circetay, post: 385442"] Not having any support is part of what's making this so difficult for me. And if I do reach out to people they just don't seem to understand. Or they say to be firmer, or that we're probably not consistent etc. I agree that pinpointing the causes is very difficult. I have yet to really figure out what's at the root of my daughters anger, or issues. I know she overreacts to everything, but what would cause that? I try to provide a safe and stable home life for her, but it seems that no matter what I do, the fits still happen. It's like constantly walking on eggshells, never knowing if at that moment something will make her snap. In terms of her social skills she does seem to get along well with others. It's interesting because at home, when playing with her younger sister she is the boss, she makes the games or decides what to do. But with friends she seems to be much more a follower. She is also very very eager and has to be first at everything. If she has to let someone else go first, there is usually some whining or crying involved. My thought is that at school, she must be doing fine since they haven't expressed any concerns, and her need to be first could be looked at as eagerness to take part which is not a bad thing. My family doctor did specify that behaviour issues usually arise in the 1st grade when there is a lot more sitting and individual work required. [/QUOTE]
