Hello.
my 6 year old daughter has recently been diagnosed, this is not come as a shock to me and it was actually welcomed as it provides us with an explanation for some of her behaviours. However, I am really struggling. Since the birth of her brother 3 months ago there has been a real increase in the meltdown. Her behaviour has become aggressive towards herself and me. I feel as though I am letting her down as I don’t know how to help her calm down when she is in the middle of a melt down. I also don’t know how to reduce the number of melt downs she is having. Seeing her so upset and angry is so distressing and I feel completely useless. I am yet to have a chat with her about the diagnosis as I don’t really know how to approach the situation with her. If anyone has any advice they could offer or point me in the direction of some good reading on the support/ parental support training I would be really greatful!
thank you
