[QUOTE="Dixies_fire, post: 588741, member: 16184"] She potty trained a little late near 3, but never even had an accident since then. No monotone and good eye contact except when in trouble. She's started this stuff of saying yes ma'am over and over to get me off her back when she's in trouble and will try her best not to look at me when she is in major trouble. Huge imagination. When she was very small had one imaginary friend, then moved away from imaginary friend to her stuffed rabbit, has started moving away from rabbit now that she has made a few friends but now she writes stories and is trying to get me to let her start recording Barbie soap operas for YouTube. Doesn't accept blame or responsibility easily. Have recently been getting better about saying she did some small stuff because if she admits it she doesn't get in much trouble. But definitely doesn't accept responsibility for the violent behavior without a serious talk. The shaking incident was because of a cookie, the tackling incident was because he was touching her stuff. Couldn't even say why she was chasing him with scissors. Her dad asked why she had scissors I said she's 8!!! She's allowed to have scissors she's even allowed to have scissors at school. But not any more. She's only tried to hit me once and that didn't go over well so she never tried again. But even though the hitting/violence to her brother doesn't go over well she persists with it. I think because I don't catch it every single time she does it. We have instituted a new rule though every time she gets caught committing minor violence to her brother she is grounded for 24 hours from the time she hit. She goes to her room and can not have any electronics or tv or anything besides books, basically can only socialize with us at meal times. It's working better than anything else I've tried. Better than lectures, time outs, spankings, me losing my cool. And she seems happier which sounds weird because she knows what the discipline is going to be every single time.
