My wife and I are foster parents and have been for 5 years, we have dealt with everything from Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) kids to ODD to abuse and neglect. We are having a hard time dealing with a 4 year old female who has some sexual abuse history and has been doing well with her milestones until she started pre-k. Once pre-k began this fall she began to have major problems with soiling herself. the thing is she doesn't do this at school just at home or with us in the car. This child is in foster care and we are in a bad situation, she is still having visits with the person who she said abused her ( tho she recanted that after a visit with him )and we are very limited in our ability to discipline her. My wife and I have always prided ourselves in our patience and our ability to get creative in motivating our kids but this one has got us stumped. we've tried timeouts, withholding her toys, even making her help clean up her messes but she simply smiles and goes on. She has been evaluated and doesn't seem to match any psychiatric profiles, she is normal except for her refusal to use the potty at home. what do ya'll suggest ( sorry for the southern drawl can't get away from it lol )I hope someone can give us some ideas, thanks BL
