[QUOTE="idohope, post: 294421, member: 7722"] Please know that you are not alone. You house sounds much like mine. I could have written your statements about being yelled at, controlling child and concern about a younger sibling imitating. We started seeing some progress when working with a therapists whose first steps were to try to break the negative cycle and work on building a more positive relationship. I was going to cancel an important event for my difficult child and the therapist suggested that I not do it. Now, I am not saying that inappropriate behavior, especially hurting others, does not have consequences but that a major consequence like canceling a birthday party for a child who may not have the tools to control their behavior may escalate things. We found PCIT (parent child interactive therapy) to be a help to our family. It is a small piece of a long term solution but maybe you could find a therapist who does this. Obviously it will not fit for all but it helped me as well as my difficult child. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
