[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 293195, member: 2423"] Welcome. I agree with the need to make sure you're dealing with the correct diagnosis. Beyond that, you might want to pick up a copy of The Explosive Child by Ross Greene. It has helped many of us on this board parent our extra-challenging children. I might also suggest that you take the battle out of bedtime. After a calming routine (bath or shower, read together, etc), you might say to your daughter that she doesn't need to go to sleep, but she does need to stay in her room at an agreed-upon time. She may have the light on, play quietly or read to herself, but she does need to stay in her room (you should set these limits at a quiet time during the day well before bedtime). When we practiced this routine with our children, we often found them asleep with the light on and a pile of books on their bed alongside them. Good luck. Please post with further questions. [/QUOTE]
