[QUOTE="klmno, post: 191128, member: 3699"] The only thing I can relate to this is when my son was that age he was going to day care after school- I'm a single parent so he'd always had long days in day care while I worked. I noticed that there would be periods of time when difficult child would act up at school but be great at home. Then there were times when he'd be great at school but come home and yell and be angry- not violent, just angry. I spoke to the pediatrician since there were no true "difficult child" issues at that point. The pediatrician told me it is difficult for a lot of kids that age to meet the demands that everyone expects of them these days. He said my son was probably holding things in all day long trying to show his best behavior and was tired and needed to vent when he came home. He said the fact that he did this around me meant that he felt safe enough around me to vent- he told me to think about having a bad day at a job that I didn't like or couldn't be myself at, then coming home around family who I knew accepted me and loved me. He said it was a good sign if difficult child vented around me, not a bad sign. But, I could set boundaries for it- like, difficult child can yell in his room but not in my face, when difficult child can calm down he can talk to me about his day and anything bothering him, etc. Sorry I can't be more help.
