My daughter is undergoing a horrible transformation at the moment! What used to be a caring, polite child is now becoming a stubborn and disobedient nightmare! Twisted Evil

She is fantastic at school, and the teacher regards her as an asset to the class, but at home she is totally different!

At the moment I am trying to come up with a rewards incentive to show her that good behaviour leads to nice things.
Do you know of any sites that have any certificates/sticker charts etc that may be of use to me in the book I am compiling?

Not an expert at this but from experience they all go through this change, and you could find something is troubling her, you must sit down and have a serious talk without losing your rag so to speak.

We found that my daughter would talk to me better than the wife and all was revealed.

If she is doing well at school then the problem is in the home, you need to find out what, yet saying that is she being bullied at school.

Thanks for the advice. She's definitely not being bullied as my friend is a teacher there and sees all. We're going away next week so maybe her behaviour will changeafter that.

According to the daughter in law who's in the trade Laughing they all go through a transformation at some time and it effects some more than others, she also said provided she doesn't get into any trouble away from home then the best thing is talking and some understanding.

You can get counciling etc but only as a last resort as you don't want to allienate yourself from her.

hope that helps a tad at least

Peachy,

My youngest daughter is 8 years old and is a high achieving, model pupil at school but she's the complete opposite at home, a whirlwind that does things on a whim and is full of life, not naughty with it though. My oh is a teacher and he just says that she has to have a place to let off steam.

I'm a TA in a Primary school and we get lots of downloadable stuff for free from a site called
www.Sparklebox.co.uk

They have certificates and reward charts too. Have a look, there may be things that you can print off.
