The hard part is finding out what 'that' is. Maybe starting school was a little overwhelming for her and just needs a little more 'mom time'. Hopefully everything has resolved itself by now!The Engine of the Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309780922714492600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759853815018276540.post-90689417733804728802008-10-03T08:58:00.000-07:002008-10-03T08:58:00.000-07:00I was wondering what happened to you.

(don't we all want that?)<BR/>I think you are on the right track to not give her so much "free" time and start her on the track of a bit more of a schedule at home, so she will be more open to it at school.<BR/>My girls were not always little gems either. I read many books on the topic to get some help from an outside source. "raising confident girls" and "the strong willed child". also, one that had something to do with stopping the back talk. <BR/>I think I still have the books somewhere, if you would like to have them I would be more than happy to send them to you. Lucky for me, I am past that point. <BR/>And remember, it could always be worse. She is a healthy little girl, and the little behavoir issues can be fixed now before they become bad habits later.<BR/>If you want the books, leave me a comment on my blog with your email, then I will get your address from you. I will not show your email on my blog. promise. <BR/>take care,<BR/>SuzBusy Bee Suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18115487928147732314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759853815018276540.post-80121578520869455552008-10-03T07:07:00.000-07:002008-10-03T07:07:00.000-07:00Dear Mags, I am sorry that you are facing this, an...Dear Mags, I am sorry that you are facing this, and that it's making you sad. It sounds as if Maddie is trying to communicate something.<BR/>Can Maddie tell you what she is trying to accomplish with her behavior at school? Did the teacher ask her about it? What does their experience tell them? Maybe it's something simple to adjust. <BR/>When she says that she misses you, what does she think she wants to change, that would help her feel better? Whether you can do what she wants or not, perhaps if she is just able to tell you, talking about it may help her. It's a place to begin. I hope you feel better. God bless both of you!Gbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895779471612397202noreply@blogger.com
