Suggest Treatment For Behavioral Problem In Child

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?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I 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.

Good luck.
