[QUOTE="Jena, post: 393959, member: 4514"] hi sounds like a typical day in my own home lol joking. sorry she has that condition, my step daughter has turners' syndrome so i can understand the height issue and being smaller than everyone else. have you placed her in therapy so she can have the chance to vent out her feelings in a safe place that isn't family??? i think with kids that suffer from things such as this attending therapy is huge. as far as the other stuff goes yup sounds like a showdown all the time. do you have a lock on your bedroom door to stop her from entering with-o your permission and touching your phones?? we started locking our door had to. homework if she doesnt' do it let her suffer the consequences in school the next day. have you ever tried that? i know it sounds extreme yet my step daughter started "forgetting" her hw at school. husband would go crazy getting hw for her. i said no way. let her go in with-it undone than she'll learn. sure enough she did learn. she gets alot due to her size i personally think. she uses it to her advantage. not saying your does just sharing what mine does. ok the writing on wall thing, stepdaughter did that too! was marking walls absolutely everywhere. than started carving. each time she drew her name on wall and tagged it and made her stand there and clean it and scrub it off. granted she fought me like hell yet if your going to ruin it than fix it is my attitude. now she is my stepkid, so mom let's her do this at home all the time! as far as attitude step daughter is nasty too! lol. i used to give it alot of attention and make a big deal about it. she LOVED the attention. i stopped doing that, firmly planted her when nasty and disengaged she couldn't stand it. she's hardly ever nasty to me anymore. hardly ever!! not perfect. you gotta pick and chose your battles i think. i'm learning to as well, my kids' bipolar and she fights just about everything as of late. do not give her attention for the junk she's doing literally. punish do it quick and disengage walk away, same with all the other junk she's doing. set a time frame for it. see if theres' a difference in time to come. just stay consistent sounds silly i know yet just try it. zero attention for anything see if that helps. before you going jumping into possible evaluations, and stuff regarding her behaviors i'd try that first. hope it gets better hang in there!!!
