[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 181105, member: 1550"] Wow. in my opinion you are harsh on yourself and your child. Your approach isn't working and is making you angry at your daughter. Do you really feel a child her age wakes up each day to make you nuts? She is not a typical child (I've raised five). Something IS going on. You need both a break, and you do need to realize that she probably IS wired differently and that the best way to give her the best life possible is to accept this and get her help. Bipolar itself doesn't have to run in the family for her to have it (as far as I know, I am the only person to get an official bipolar diagnosis in my family, but I see many possibly undiagnosed people). First off, depression problems on either side of the family tree is also a huge red flag for a mood disorder. So is substance abuse and/or suicide attempts on either side of the family tree. High functioning autism is another possibility, even if she is on target. That is hard to find in younger kids, but can make them act like holy terrors when it is really just that they don't "get" our world and need a lot of intervention. Most kids (again I have five) easily conform to traditional discipline. It's the atypical kids who don't or can't and you need to learn how to best help your child. If something is not working, why keep doing it? Anyway, I wish you luck, regardless. For your own peace and sanity I do recommend giving The Explosive Child another look. It doesn't have to be used after your child is stable, but it cuts stress 50% if you use it until you have answers. This is not a brat...she's an itty bitty child who needs help. Just because you want her to be a "normal" child won't make her one. She is not acting like a typical child, and you know that in your heart or you wouldn't be here. Take care of BOTH of you [/QUOTE]
