[QUOTE="mrsammler, post: 457400"] "what do we do? Just let her do it?" Whatever you do, don't do this--don't just let her get away with misbehavior. Doing that is the slippery slope down which a great many parents of difficult children slide into real and durable chaos. You MUST respond to rule-breaking, misbehavior, and overt disrespect with discipline and appropriate punishment. She will raise hell and try to send the message that any attempt at disciplining her will just make her worse--don't buy it. Take away the toys/privileges she likes and don't return them until you get compliance. As bad as it'll get as she rages in response to punishment, it'll be SO much worse if you give up on discipline. [/QUOTE]
