We can speculate about the reason, but the important thing is to manage the behavior is a sytematic way. The best approach to such systematic way that I can recommend to you is Lynn Clark's SOS Help for Parents. If you read this Forum regularly, you'll have noticed that I often advise this approach. Why? Because it is effective. See www.sosprograms.com.
