[QUOTE="Allan-Matlem, post: 457087, member: 10"] Hi, You mention the possibility of your niece moving over with you. I believe she needs to move away from her present environment and influences and get someone to help her see the potential in building a new life, aquiring life skills and dealing with her issues. Maybe a residential or therapeautic treatment center which focuses on lagging skills and empowering the kid rather than control using behavior modification is an idea. She needs to build new relationships with mentors and positive people. Your mom cannot do it. I think your niece has to see the options - moving out with you or some other arrangement and if that does not work , handing her back to the state , I think it is called PINS. Your family does not have to go down under because of one kid. Check [url]http://livesinthebalance.org[/url] , the explosive child web site - go through the alsup list - list of lagging skills and unsolved problems etc to get a picture of her lagging skills. Collaborative problem solving is great at building skills , relationships etc but is very difficult when there are problems in the relationship. Without a good relationship , we can't do very much.
