Re: Unreasonable expectations for CRAZY 6 year old?
Would also not - most def not - make sitting still a home thing. It may be all she can do to try and sit still at school all day. Kids are just not wired to sit still.And also agree that the facial expressions and other things may be a response from past harsher parenting - no judgements here. At school she has not had that to factor in so may be able to relax in that respect? I agree that continuing to change the way you want to parent and if a yell comes out be quick t let her know you are sorry and dont want to be a yelling mom.In fact I would talk to her about how you dont like to yell and you know she doesnt like yelling so you are really trying not to yell. Also remember that kids may or may not bottle things up at school best and worst big feelings
