[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 471290, member: 11791"] Hi, shayden, and welcome. Yes, lots on this board have gone before you... ! First, the problem is NOT parenting. Not that we can't all improve in some way but... this is a problem that comes as a result of something else. So... the real challenge is to find out what "something else" is. And it could be one thing - or 3 or 10. It doesn't matter. What does matter is getting to the bottom of things. What works for an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kid may be totally wrong for a bi-polar kid, for example. There is no "one" approach that works for everything. Can you tell us a little more about her early years? Walking, talking, all those milestones - normal? delay? advanced? Are there times when she's better and times when she's worse? Do you know what the cycle is or what the triggers are? Motor skills? fine and gross (at this age, gross shows up in things like throwing a ball and riding a bike, and fine in scissor use and shoe tieing) Hearing? Vision? Eating? is she really picky, only wants certain foods? Anything you can tell us, may be recognizable from someone else who "has a kid like that". Meanwhile... sounds like you've tried lots of stuff. Have you run into "The Explosive Child" yet? There's two sides to it - we found it helpful because it explains where many of these kids are coming from - the unmet needs you may not have thought about. It also provides an alternative way of thinking about how to approach the problem. Many libraries have it, if you don't want to get your own at first. [/QUOTE]
