Funny you say that JJSMom..... if I told anyone at school about how DD acts at home, they'd look at me like I had 3 heads and clearly must be referring to a different child! She is an ANGEL at school. I often ask her why she is able to control it at school but not at home. Her response was that school was important to her and she didn't want it going on her permanent record! She proceded to tell me that she really wants to go to a really good school someday because she wants to be an Dr. so she has to be good at school (she's 9 for cryin' out loud! She has a long time to worry about that!)
If it's any consolation, we tried a counselor at one point years ago and honestly, I was already doing everything they suggested and it was not a help in the least. I've come to the realization that DC is the way she is and we have to work with her!
