Does She need Theropy?

My child is 4 years old and is very agressive.She constantly hits her brother and her cusins.
She tends to be provoked sometimesbut hardly ever often. She is always under supervision but she still tends to break the rules. She jumps on them, calls them names an even tells me and the other elders to "shut-up"
I really belive she needs help and when i try to talk to her about her feelingd in a peaceful invironment she nods her head and goes on doing it anyway.
I  need some advice because i want to take her therapy but i'm not sure if i should.
Her behavior is becoming more and more out of hand every day.

Remove her from the others so she cannot behave like this, sir her on a chair away from them and tell her to stay there till she stops, if she gets off the chiar quietly put her back, over and over if you have to, she needs to be given Bounderys  regarding hitting others, do not let her with them to play till she stops this behavior also try to figure out and ask her why she does it is there some jealousy there, are they younger than her and she feels left out and acts like this to get attention.

Get a professional to observe her. Go with your gut as you know your child best. Involve her in more social activites, stick to your guns, consistancy is key. Dont just wait for her to out grow this, as it may get worse.
