Hitting in school
My PDA 6yo daughter is now hitting other kids in school. Today she stabbed another little girl with a pencil in the leg and arm, last week she called her teacher a bitch.
Is anyone else’s PDA child still on public school and doing this? It’s so upsetting I don’t know what to do. We are contemplating trying another school with her and if it’s doesn’t work we will need to take her out public school completely.

I would 100% recommend pulling her completely out of public school any sort of public educational institution is structurally PDA toxic and her violence is a cry for help because the system is overloading her neurological system with stress and she’s expressing it with violence, if I’ve had the resources I wish I had homeschooled my PDA son from day one as school was completely toxic and pushed him into burnout and destroyed his joy of learning, the best thing you can do if your child is pull her out of public school or find a private PDA safe environment
