Change in behaviour

Hey, I’m sure you’re doing an amazing job with your kids. I could have written this my self a few weeks ago. In my eyes they are still young and just want to be validated and understood how YR1 is so different and difficult from reception. I’ve been encouraging my daughter and praising her for her hard work. If she has a good week we do something of her choice e.g movie night at home with snacks. We still need to bake a cake together and I’ve said we would make chocolate covered apples if she does good listening. This is what has been working for us x
My daughter is the same
Yup could’ve written this myself 🥲
I wouldn't say rude but he explodes into a massive paddy over the smallest things recently! He doesn't at school though he's very well behaved there 🙃
Yes! Very much so! We had new addition around the same time and thought that was the cause. But from what I’ve also been reading it’s seems to be perfectly normal and is just part of them growing up and early hormonal changes getting ready puberty. I thought I had until teen age years to worry about mood swings but seems it starts earlier than I thought! Keeping that in mind has helped me, and not worry that it is a permanent change. 6 months on things have calmed a little but i think this had also come about with me changing the way I address the behaviour.
Thank you all! Xx
My daughter is the same she’s like a 6 going on 16 isolates herself in her room won’t listen has an attitude about everything
Ditto!!!!! Same ages too x
Hey. We have a 6 year old boy and yes that is very familiar behaviour. He has moments of being awful then other times very caring and considerate. I am hoping this is hormonal or at least a phase!! 😬
