[QUOTE="zaftigmama, post: 501927, member: 13038"] Well, this is is how I'd do it (though from what you've posted we have different parenting styles): I would have a meeting with her when she is calm, fed, rested (pick the best time of day for that, probably on a weekend) and describe the problems to her, and enlist her help in solving them. If she doesn't live close to her playmates, I'd explore having playdates with her friends. If she is used to playing with you, set aside a short time each day (15-20 minutes) to play with her, or maybe find some kind of activity to do together that you'd both enjoy. Maybe join the Y so you can go swimming together. I'd also look at what she's doing not necessarily as misbehavior, but a symptom of her disability. What about an exercise trampoline so she can jump when she needs to? What calms her when she is going off the rails? My kids respond well to a bath, or deep pressure hugs. Family counseling would help all of you move toward something that works for everyone. So no, I don't think you should put the hammer down, so to speak. I think that's setting the stage for future resentment, especially if the impetus for this is coming from your fiance. [/QUOTE]
