Default Re: Unreasonable expectations for CRAZY 6 year old?

There may be a discomfort in being corrected that she genuinely feels with her entire body. I mean even as an adult being corrected in anyway is uncomfortable.

I would give her an opportunity unity to get the muscles sorted before trying to speak to whatever the issue is at the moment.

“I see you are having a tough time controlling your body while we talk. Let’s take a minute to stretch really high to the sky get up on those tippy goes. Great. Let’s now push our feet hard into the floor and bring our body down into a tight ball. Ok think we can slowly stand up and fold our hands now to talk?” Something like that. Or if movement would make it worse I’d invite her To go to a safe calm place until she has calmed her body herself then invite her to talk after a few moments. Note I am not advocating a time out! It’s a pause to collect their emotions and muscles not a punishment. When correcting I’ve found fewer words are better too. Over explanation can cause wiggles even after they’ve gotten them sorted out because the emotional discomfort can increase the longer you over explain why you are correcting the chosen behavior.

Minor Hints like rocking back and forth on heals or safely swinger her arms I would ignore. Bigger stuff like screaming and throwing herself on the floor would cause me to try the examples above. Like I said even adults have their little tics when being corrected. Think about the head co k the shoulder shrugging, wringing it hands, wiggling toes in your shoes or bobbing knees up and down if sitting. And we’ve had years and years to sort out how to manage uncomfortable moments.
