daughters increase behaviors since puberty

[Guest guest]

I am looking for some help. My daughter started her 1st period in January. We

had many months leading into January with high behaviors and aggression. It has

increased. She is a high functioning child who is usually is very happy. When

she has melt downs, she losses her verbal skills and hit, kicks, throws items

and screams.

What has helped others? I am about to take self defense classes. I threw out

my shoulder tonight while protected not only herself from getting hurt but me.
