I am looking for suggestions on how to help my 5 year old daughter. Her father and I split up about 10 months ago. The kids only see him once.....maybe occasionally twice a week.
She was having a very hard time for a while. Extremely defiant and difficult but it's gotten better and worse. While her episodes are less frequent, they've gotten to the point of outright aggressively defiant. I don't know if this is normal for a 5 year old anyway.
She's gotten mouthy, which she never was before. Talking back and being bossy to me and my boyfriend and even my mother. She's been getting in trouble for being rude to friends in school. She'll throw temper tantrums at odd moments, fine one minute and complete meltdown the next. She's never been tempermental (Sp?) at all.
Really I just want to help her adjust in the best way that I can and I want to get my sweet little girl back!!! Any advice?
