[QUOTE="change, post: 164847, member: 4808"] Hi, I sympathize with you. My daughter is 12 and 13 by summer's end and still acts like a Kinder sometimes because of her defiant behavior. She is extremely oppositional to the point of not having any true friends. It breaks my heart that she self-sabotages so much. I don't have any real solutions for you except that we are very consistent as far as parenting goes and stricter than we want to be. We try to get all adults on the same page with us and they soon comply when they realize how difficult and non-compliant she is. Most adults feel sorry for her too because they can see her lonely existence at her own hands. She has 2 therapists, an EMDR therapist she just started with a couple of months ago and a talk therapist she's had for years. She has a performing arts outlet and shockingly they haven't kicked her out even though she is defiant there too and sometimes disruptive in class and mean to other kids. It's even an audition only academy. Maybe if you can find something like that for your little precious that will capture her interest above anything else, it will help some. It hasn't stopped my daughter from being defiant but it's helped a teeny bit sometimes. HUGS...BIG HUGS...and don't let this drive you crazy because it's not you. [/QUOTE]
