I know a lot of people feel down and exhausted during the winter, could this maybe be something along the lines of that? (but a reverse?) I hope you don't have to wait too long for an appointment.

I agree with the previous comment about the winding for summer holidays and the kids do get really excitable this time of year any way. My kids always play up when it's hot as well even my 9 year old had a full toddler tantrum in the school car park and that's not like her at all.

Maybe that is affecting her? My son never does his homework either but his school aren't too bothered when it gets to this time of year. Has she been having some early nights? My children misbehave if they are doing to much so we stop and spend some time relaxing and doing very little for a while.

Perhaps it could be to do with stress about moving into the next school year? Some children really struggle and perhaps it is her way of showing how she feels about it.

If a child likes routine they can find this upsetting and it could be a way to try to cope. Keep pushing for an appointment, it took ages for us but we got there in the end and it was worth it.
