My 9 year old daughter hits her little brother (aged 7) and constantly fights with him over trivial issues.

My 9 year old daughter constantly fights with her younger brother aged 7. She hits him for no reason and just does not understand the word "NO". I have tried every method possible, from encouragement to time out, but nothing seems to work. The littlest thing make her go into a sulk. She is a wonderful child otherwise, very loving and often takes care of her little brother, getting him sweets and saving up sweets if she gets them from her friends for him. But the moment she gets home from school she starts off hararssing him like taking his things away and not giving them back just to annoy him. She also has a habit of throwing tantrums when I tell her off, throwing things around, even though sometimes I have got really furious with her and sent her off to bed. Even this does not seem to make her feel that she needs to stop doing it. I have tried to offer rewards for good behaviour. |But even this does not work. I am at my wit's end as to how to change her behaviour!

Sounds to me as if your daughter is just releasing "stress and anxiety" from being in school all day. Why not set up a situation so that your daughter is not in contact with your son for an hour or so - perhaps a chore, or physcial activity for one of them, whatever. I think your daughter just needs some "down time" without her brother (perhaps without anyone). Just one opinion ....
