older child acting out

[bmurdock]

So I have a 6 year old girl she is relatively a great well behaved child. She has two siblings from her father. We were teen parents and didn't last very long I chose to wait until I got married to have another child. I didn't think it would bother her as much for me to have a baby I even talked to her about it before we tried and she was excited. But could she be acting out because I'm pregnant I'm 12 weeks and it's been going on for about 6 week's. Her just started to be constant in her life about a year ago after getting a new girlfriend and he even asked what's going on at home. (He doesn't have very good control of her as it is I guess it got worse)  I'm just not sure what to do at this point I spend a lot more time with her. I thought may be she just feels I'm not going to love her as much.what should I do?

Thanks ladies it's just so strange for her to act that way she is getting to the point where she never wants me to go anywhere with out her she wants me to stay at school with her. I try to just talk to her because that's what I've always done since I could understand her. I know She's only 6 but we have had a pretty open relationship since she started talking.but now she kinda shut a me out.she loves her step dad a he calls him daddy and I've told her tons of tines she can call her father a fiance girlfriend w/e she is mom if she wants and she just says no she ain't my mom so I try to let her know she has so many people that love her of course I tell her I will always love her most.but she is still acting out.

I was 6 when my mum got pregnant with my brother and I acted out as well. I was always reminded that I was not being replaced and would not be loved any less. Just remind her that she how much she is loved and that it won't change.

My almost 6 year old has been acting out since the start of school in September. Maybe its just the new school year and you're over thinking it!
