My 8 year old daughter seems to be having outburst in school at least once a day, she refuses to do homework/assignments in class, her teacher feels that she is seeking attention any way she can get, she does things to intentionally hurt others (moving her chair so child will trip) , she needs to constantly tattle on others and blame for her misbehaving, lies about others to get out of trouble, at home it is the same way. What could I be dealing with?
DearWelcome to ChatDoctorWe understand your concerns went through your details. Your daughters school psychologist could be right. Your daughter could be attention seeking. Tactical ignoring, also known as planned ignoring, is a behavioral management strategy used in response to challenging behavior that seeks to receive attention or to gain a reaction from others. It is a commonly used strategy when the person displaying the attention seeking behavior still feels rewarded by a negative response. Talk to school counselor or consult a psychologist.
