My kid is almost 5 and started JK this year. Thing is, her behaviour has shifted a lot in the past few months, since starting school (might be coincidence but I doubt it).When I pick her up from aftercare she's always playing by herself. There are plenty of other kids her age around her, but she's hanging out alone. When I try to talk to her about it, she looks at me sadly and tells me none of the kids want to play with her. That leads me into point #2She's bossy. She bosses everyone around, including her parents. We try to teach her that every kid wants to do things their own way and not to push too hard if someone doesn't do something exactly her way but she doesn't get it. This is likely why problem #1 exists.She's super moody! She can be ultra happy one minute and then upset/angry/crying the next and sometimes for ridiculous reasons.She's constantly testing us. I mean, I know kids test a lot, but she was good for several months and now she's right back at it. I'll tell her "do it again and we're leaving the park - last warning" and she looks at me with a smug look and does it again. Then I follow through the punishment and she proceeds to cry for 10 minutes.Nothing could have prepared me for this age. Terrible threes? Hah. Thinking back on it, that was a joke. The 4 and a halves are far worse at least for me. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2yJZi2J
