[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 247973, member: 1722"] {{{BBK}}} Just because you have a difficult child doesn't mean it's always your child causing problems. I think it can be hard for us to be objective and fair to our kids because their history dictates that they behave poorly. The only concern I might have is clinical: is it within the realm of possibilities that Tink has Early Onset Bi-Polar (EOBP) and is experiencing some hyper sexuality? It truly doesn't seem that way to me because the scenario described by Tink is pretty typical. The scenario described by the friend is not. I know it's hard to separate your child from their friend especially when she has trouble maintaining friendships. But believe me, now is the time to micro-manage her interactions somewhat. I think you aren't truly going to know if something is up with Tink until you separate her from the friend. If another friend reports the same sorts of activities initiated by Tink then it's probably true. Think of it as a scientific experiment. Call Tink's teacher or ask her coach if there's a girl that would be a good fit Tink to be friends with and have play dates. Find out who she sits with at lunch or who sits next to her on the bus. You live in a pretty big town and there's a near endless supply for her to make friends. Make sure they are the ones that help Tink by modeling good behavior. And BBK... you only recently started standing your ground with Tink. It's going to take more than a few months for her to understand that she won't get her way by acting out. And (here's my tough love for you) you don't get to not be up to parenting her. I know you know this. I want you to get up tomorrow morning, brush yourself off and jump back into the parenting trenches. Tink needs you. [/QUOTE]
