[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 569804, member: 1550"] I don't think this is a parenting issue nor that art therapy can help it. She probably needs a full evaluation and it sounds like your mom either doesn't want to do it or is in denial about how serious her behavior is. At any rate, you are just her sister and you can't do anything about it. The adults in your family need to step up to the plate, recognize that Sister needs help, and find out what disorder she has, rather than looking it up on the internet, which isn't accurate. She probably could use a neuropsychologist to figure her out. ODD isn't a useful diagnosis...most of us don't pay much heed to it. It just means the child is defiant, which we know, but it doesn't tell us why she's defiant and there is no real treatment for it. I think a lot more has to be looked at, but that is NOT your responsibility. You're just a kid yourself and should enjoy it. We welcome your mother here. Will she come? Traditional parenting methods, such as standing our ground, do not change our differently wired children. They need more creative parenting plus often other interventions and sometimes medication. Your mom needs somebody who is a professional to help her. Again, I recommend starting with a neuropsychologist evaluation and going from there. You are a very good and brave sister but you can not do an adult's job because you can not legally take your sister for help. [/QUOTE]
