[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 340496, member: 1722"] Thanks SW & Wendy. SW- I truly believe that Duckie becomes anxious after she becomes overtired. It's a scenario that has played out numerous times. This time, she was a little out of whack after the holidays (no surprise there) but pulling herself back together and getting back on track with her schedule when my mother died. This, of course, caused further disruption just when she needed it least and some emotional upset. Top it off with her best little buddy moving across the country and another not-so-nice kid attempting to fill the void at school and POOF! We have ODD Girl: ready to rage at a moment's notice, able to argue a point ad nauseum with absolutely no logic used and the giver of stress tics in parent's everywhere. She did better today. I advised her to stay away the girl that instigates trouble at school since Duckie can't seem to make good choices when she is involved. I also told her that the lunch lady and her teacher know that I don't want them sitting together at lunch. I stressed that this is NOT the other girl's ("B") fault... that Duckie was making her own bad choices. I also told Duckie that a difficult morning would result in an early bedtime that night. Not a punishment, but a natural consequence. There will also be no play dates. This morning went a lot better. She is working independently on her homework right now. My good girl is back (for now).
