Aggression and anger at home

[mgshorey]

Our daughter is in grade 1 and recently transferred to a new school.  The new school is more structured as compared to her old one. As well it has more students in the class (30 students as compared to the 12 students in her previous school).  She is finding the transition difficult as she complains it's more hard work and wants to go back to her previous school.  She is also finding it difficult to keep up with the students in her school- esp her pace in writing and finishing her task at hand.  Sometimes her classmates inform me in front of her how she didn't finish her work in class or she was just sitting there and not doing anything about it, to that i just tell them that's ok she will complete it next time.  The worrying part here is that i don't want her to get a low self esteem, b/c if kids are telling me that what might they be saying to her.  She although puts up a brave front to us and acts as if it doesn't bother her- maybe it doesnt, i could be just over analyzing.   I have spoken to her teacher and she says to give her time to settle in as she has barely completed a month at school and she shud pick up.  The school thing i am not as much worried about as i have confidence in her that she will pick up her pace and be at par with the other students.  Whats is worrisome is her behaviour at home.  A lot of aggression and anger she shows at home when things are not done her way.  She also does not listen to us at home and as a result we have to raise our voices for her to get things done.  Her character in her previous school was that of a very adaptable, affectionate social girl who doesn't like confrontations.   As well a year ago we did have a new addition to the family (her brother) who she has taken quite well too.
Please help.
Thanks

It sounds as if there could be an issue from home maybe as there is a new Baby in the House even though she is good with the chile she feels some lack of attention the Baby is getting, how about giving her more one to one time Get her Dador other Family  involved and more activitys for her.I dont think you should be discussing her behavior with classmates that is not kind as it may make her feel embarressed, it is belittlring to her., the Teacher probably has got it right, back off a bit and let it go, she needs to get her self Esteem going and this wont do it.
