Inspired By Reggio - their 7 year old has SERIOUS behavior issues - hates all forms of female authority, is malicious towards myself and the other kids, grabs constantly, throws tantrums where she rolls on the ground and kicks and screams, draws on my walls, has smeared feces on the walls, constantly yells at me that she hates me and I am rude(regardless of what we are doing). I've been patient with them and agreed to their disicpline tactics, which haven't worked. I've put up with this for a very long time and nothing ever improves. She gets worse as time goes on. I've told them I need to consider not only my own mental health but that of the other kids here and they say they understand. I've suggested counselling, which they refuse to do because it is expensive and embarassing if their friends find out. So, I'm sure they must see it coming. She has been kicked out of ther dayhomes and I am afraid I may have to do it as well.
