[QUOTE="RR2323, post: 347071, member: 9139"] Thank you again for the reply. I wanted to add that she DOES NOT LISTEN in addition to all these other frustration issues. Some days she does not meltdown and does not get frustrated very often. However, she doesn't listen. She knows there are rules and she doesn't follow any of them. You name the rule, she breaks it. I am all about choosing battles and letting some things go to avoid frustration episodes but I cannot let everything go. The day is one struggle after another. She is climbing on the counter to get snacks, she is chasing the cat, she is in the bathroom draining the soap and making a mess, she won't come in from outside, she won't go outside when we want to go outside etc. I will give her a snack and then she wants more. If it is before dinner I will tell her no more, she needs to eat dinner first and then she can have another snack/dessert after dinner. She insists on and on. If I leave the room to attend to our other daughter I come back and she has gotten more of the snack. I have tried everything I can think of and nothing works. We have done the traditional rewards for good behavior and consequences for breaking the rules/undesireable behaviors. Been there done that VERY CONSISTENTLY and does NOT work. I think the philosphy in the "explosive child" is great and is working in some situations. But the bottom line is there are rules for a reason and I am having a hard time throwing all the rules out the window to avoid meltdowns. Having a 5 year old break rules all day long is NO FUN either. [/QUOTE]
