Q:
Is this normal behavior for a 7 year old girl?
our grandaughter is well behaved at school and gets great reports from the teacher
when she is at home with her mum a single parent and 2yr old brother a large majority of the time we have the following behavoirs
stamping feet and screaming if she doesnt get what she wants
moans when asked to do anything she doesnt want to do
is slow and uncooperative when asked to get ready for school or go anywhere she doesnt want to go
talks and interupts when mum is on the phone or talking to people or trying to watch someting on the tele and wont listen when asked to be quiet
makes up stories and lies so you cant beleive a word she says
says she is frightened whenever anyone wants to go somewhere she doesnt want to go
wont go to bed at night unless mum stays in the bed until she is nearly asleep, says she is frightened
wants everything her brother has says it is hers takes it off him and has great difficulty sharing and lashes out at him when she thinks mums not looking
wont eat with a knife and fork and doesnt eat anything much except carbs sweets crisps etc hardley touches a balanced meal
will only wear clothes she wants to wear and is a battle to get her dressed
