To me, it sounds like she is used to getting attention only when she is "bad" and therefore acts out for attention. It will be hard but try to ignore the smaller problem behaviours (step in if she is hurting someone else or herself) and praise often when she is behaving as you want. It will take time but she will learn.
Thank you for this. I really appreciate it. I am really trying to give plenty of positive attention. I don't punish her unless she is doing something really dangerous.
Thanks for this!
