Maybe find a mothers group, daycare or community group (dancing etc) where she can learn to follow instructions, keep her busy and have fun

Is there any way you can get her involved in other activities, if she’s a bright kid she might be just plain bored and need more stimulation during the day?

It sounds like she might be bored at home. Try getting her involved in a dance class etc or some of the leap pad learning programs. You can also get some great preschool educational games online.

Our council ran a course in 1-2-3 magic and it was wonderful. She needs to know boundaries and have a timeout chair or area. You give her a 1, then if she keeps it up 2, then at 3 she has timeout. Obviously worse behaviour goes straight to a 2 or a 3 (eg bad language or throwing something at someone), but you sit her down and explain this new system first and make sure she knows you mean business.

  I’ve never heard of the 1-2-3 but it sounds like a good parenting tool.

Try and get her into something to stop the boredom. Maybe a playgroup or gymbaroo as well as preschool
