Unfortunately, you have not given your daughter's age or the nature of the problems, so an answer is difficult. The best generic answer would be to be sure you are always consistent with your rules, boundaries, and responses to her behavior. Deal with acting out as soon as possible and with clear, concrete explanations. Be firm but compassionate in your style. Be careful what consequences you use so that you will follow through with them ALWAYS. If you do not, the lesson learned is, "what my parent says when I am punished doesn't mean anything ... it never happens." Speak to the teacher and/or school guidance counselor to see if the behaviors that you have in mind occur there as well. If they do not, then you must examine what you are doing to encourage and/or maintain the problem behaviors.
How can I boost my self-esteem and confidence?
The first step would be to identify the negative self-statements that you are engaging in and learn to dispute them, replacing them with positive self-affirmations.
