[QUOTE="Full House, post: 107719, member: 4433"] Everyone needs advice, and I really need it now. Here's the thing. I have 4 kids at home, I took in my cousins 2 kids and we have agreed to adopt as soon as TPR is complete. And now here's the BUT--we are haveing big problems with the girl. Shes 8 now we've had them for a year now. They say she has Reactive Attachment Disorder. I was looking over the net and found Oppositional Defiant Disorder that sound sooooo much more like her. Either way, it's affecting the other kids in the house and don't seem to be getting better. I want to help these kids but think I'm hurting 4 others in the process. Does anyone think this is something she can overcome (fairly soon). example last night it was time for bed, she said it was cold in her room. I told her I would open her door when I go to bed so it warms, that wasn't good enough, I asked her what she wanted me to do, she said nothing, I said well good night then.She fell on the floor screaming and kicking,I again told her what I would do for her and it wasn't good enough, so I said keeep the radio off and I will open the door, NO, and so we go on with the screaming and kicking, so I made the decicion,I took the radio out that made things worse, I hate you, I want my dad,and i think there was some swearing in there inbetween the screaching and kicking the bed frame for 20 mins. My 3 year old was next to me and said with tearing eyes "what's wrong with mantha?) we have this tantrum stuff all the time, and honestly I am sick of it. I need other Ideas to try, or very soon I am going to have to stop. Thanks ahead of time for any Ideas. Bless [/QUOTE]
