It's not all fun and games...

Since 1st grade has started the 6 year old is one cranky girl.  She seems to be able to hold everything together during the week, but weekends not so much.  Weekends are for temper tantrums, showing us the strong willed side of her personality, being cranky, and pretty much just being a disagreeable person.  For the past few weeks she wouldn't give my husband a hug or kiss, she would get mad if he was the one who met her as she got off the bus, she threw items at him and hit him.  She wouldn't tell me why she was angry at daddy, but she certainly made it clear that she was.  We were very concerned since she wouldn't talk to us about her feelings, she was being violent toward hubby, and has been doing a lot of self stimulation (rubs groin & she mentioned that she's done it at school too ignoring multiple talks about alone time).    

Hubby and I talked about it. I suggested using the PA insurance we have to arrange for a mobile therapist, but he wanted to do private therapy for her so I just made an appointment for her with a group that is covered by our insurance. The website says there are people who work with children and specialize in ADHD and other behavioral issues.
