Yesterday was so emotionally draining. Very emotional. We had a few melt downs that were pretty bad. She ended up falling outside and scraping her knee and her arm. Well she wouldn't let me get even 5 feet near it to even look. Ran around the house screaming. I tried to calm her down. I tried to talk to her. I tried ignoring her. I tried hugging her. I don't know what to do anymore. I can't handle the lying. She is lying bad. She then turns around and thinks that it's funny. I try to explain to her that its not funny. Its mean and people don't like that. She doesn't understand that. She's young but she needs to start understanding that she can't be mean. She has the attitude that she can do whatever she wants and that it's OK. Or that she can do whatever she wants and it's not her fault if something happens.
She's going to visit her dad this weekend. I am hoping that being with him will help her in some way. She does listen to him. She minds him a lot better than me. I am hoping that her hearing him say it will help. I need something to happen. May 5th can't come fast enough! I need something to help. I am liking the support that I get from people. Knowing what to do and what questions need to be asked helps. I am sure that we can get her on the right track. We just have to know where to go.
Knowing now I think can help her for first grade. We have a lot of work to this summer. I know that she is smart. She is very smart. But she can't focus enough to test well. She just went through her site words and spelled them for me with out looking at the paper. That is a huge accomplishment for her. I am very happy that she do that. I am very happy.
Today has been an OK day. I noticed that when she started to like she was going to throw a fit or start being difficult, I actually just changed the topic and I noticed that she stopped. It was OK. I was happy.
