I hope I am wrong but I can't ignore what I see. It could not hurt to have Mady evaluated and may do her a lot of good. Ignoring her "tantrums" will accomplish nothing.

I wouldn't go as far as to say she's exhibiting bi-polar behaviors.
I'm sorry you experienced this, but honestly, if Mady is bi-polar, then so is every other 7 year old I've ever encountered.
