[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 253013, member: 1233"] Welcome!! It is great to have a dad here! first of all, don't compare your daughter's problems and behavior to other people's problems with their children. You are trying to find a way to best help your daughter. THAT is what matters, not whether your daughter's behaviors are as severe or whatever when compared to my child or anyone else's child. We are here for you no matter how she "stacks up". Until there are some answers to the other questions, it is hard to give advice. I will say that with our kids corporal punishment is about the worst thing you can do. She won't understand the rules of it. She will ONLY grasp that if you are bigger and stronger you can hit to get your own way. I learned that one the hard way. Sigh. HAve you read "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene? It is an excellent resource that I think most of us have found very helpful. There is a thread at the top of the forum index that talks about adapting the explosive child to use iwth young children. One of the problems with disciplining a child under 5 is that they simply do not grasp long term punishments. They forget why they are being punished so it doesn't change their behavior. Natural consequences tend to work better. I also highly recommend, "Love & Logic Magic for Early Childhood". You can check it out at [url]www.loveandlogic.com[/url] . It is a great website with lots of info and descriptions of all their books. I recommend listening to the audio thingys there also. STick around, we really like to have a father's perspective here!
