[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 671544, member: 14557"] Hi and welcome! Sorry to hear you have such a bad situation with your daughter. How you describe her, it sounds she is very troubled little girl and she really can't help her behaviour much at all at this point. I would start by finding a reputable paediatric psychiatrist and more comprehensive evaluations would likely also be helpful (neuropsychologist, neurologist, occupational therapist, learning related psychological tests.) You want to find out what really is going on. It may be that she will need medications and most likely some kind of professional help and therapy and accommodations for school. Unfortunately getting all those ducks on row is a lot of work, but better start as soon as possible. I noticed that you have used many type of consequences based strategies to modify her behaviour and they have not worked. One thing you could consider would be to try reward based behaviour modification instead. Small, and really frequent rewards, only very short term consequences or punishments when absolutely necessary. I'm not really even suggesting that it would work much better at all for behaviour modification (it truly sounds like she doesn't have so much control over her behaviour), but it could help her think more positively of herself. It seems she is constantly in so much trouble, that it is very likely she considers herself to be a very bad girl and other negative perceptions of herself. That is never helpful. [/QUOTE]
