[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 495751"] I think that if one of us had the answer to that question, all of us would have different lives to some extent. It's hard enough to get an adult to undertand that they need to want to get better. To get a stubborn child, who still has alot of growing and maturing to do, it's even harder. We're struggling with this, too. therapist is trying to get difficult child to understand that most of the time it is his actions that create a problem and that he has to want to change those actions in order to make things better. He just refuses to see it. What does difficult child do when she is up until all hours of the morning? Is she texting her friends? Playing video games? My suggestion is that if she is up doing something it needs to be removed from her room at night. Make a rule. No texting from 10:00 pm until 7:am and take the phone from her. If it's video games, take the controllers. Maybe if she feels like she has nothing to do she might get bored and sleep. [/QUOTE]
