Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
I understand that your daughter is hard to control and compulsive.
Many kids at this age are like that and will change in a few months.
Give her time. Praise her and give her a star everytime she behaves well.
Discuss with her school teachers about her behaviour at school.
If she is compulsive and less attentive in school you need to rule out ADHD by getting a psychological evaluation.
If she is well mannered and attentive at school, relax.
She will improve.
Wishing your child good health and speedy recovery.

Dr Arun
