[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 683830, member: 15799"] She definitely has something going on that is preventing her from being the way everyone seems to want her to be. You, and your husband, need to change your frame of mind. All children do well if they can. For some reason she can't and being punished for having a disability, although not diagnosed yet, that prevents her from "being a good girl" is cruel to me. Do NOT let anyone label her with ODD. That will cause nothing but even more problems when she gets to school. I would say find a neuropsychologist or even a PhD level psychologist to start finding out WHY she is acting as she does. I would also recommend that your husband not be allowed to discipline her AT ALL since he obviously just views her as a "brat". The damage punishment for things she can't do to her long-term emotional well-being is huge. You can ask my son with the extremely low self-esteem and occasional suicidal ideation because of all the "punishment" he received for things he couldn't help. Oh, and definitely get The Explosive Child by Ross Greene. [/QUOTE]
