[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 421123, member: 84"] Being preschool age then..............and since you went into a bit more detail with the behavior....... Possible domestic violence going on. Possible a diagnosis going on, but honestly it would be far too early for any sort of real diagnosis. One because many psychiatrists don't believe mental illness develops before certain ages, and even those that are realizing that behaviors begin long long before they ever realized/admitted before.....are hesitant to diagnosis anything serious before late teens early adulthood. Heck some flat out refuse to do so. And yes, while it may make me unpopular to some, I'm sorry but I ran a daycare many many many years, trust me I've seen more than my fair share of spoiled brats who not only hit and kick but bite and throw things and you name it if they believe they can get away with it they do it. One does not have to have a diagnosis to do such things. Complete lack of discipline can produce the same behaviors depending on a child's personality. I'm not talking spoiled in the sense their parents buy them everything yadda yadda, although sometimes I've seen parents terrorized;/trained to do so by a child via behavior. I'm talking the child who has learned inappropriate behaviors to get what they want.....even if what they want is to show you they're the boss. In all those years, given time and dicipline, each one of them turned around and were fairly well behaved......at least with me. But I can't see how you can manage to do that when you're not so much as allowed to tell a child no, let alone use time out ect. The child under such circumstances has no "real" reason to conform to the rules. None. Honestly given the classroom environment and the limitations set on you as far as discipline goes, I'm not sure if you could accurately judge her to be difficult child or easy child. If she's an independent smart child who is lagging in the area of empathy, you might see the same types of behavior.....especially with no real punishment for what they did. Being a smart child......they put 2 and 2 together.....hey I did such and such and all that happened was *this* and it was really nothing......so I'm gonna do it again......and again.......cuz it's really no big deal. Because a child is naturally self centered and to [B]her[/B] it really is not a big deal because the punishment whatever wasn't enough to make any real impact on her. Sorry. I don't get this philosophy. Kids need firm rules and boundaries with real consequences for them. I totally agree that why something should not be not should be explained to a child.......but to not even be able to say no? Might as well set all the kids in the classroom together and the teachers go have coffee. [/QUOTE]
