[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 184618, member: 3907"] A lot of our kids have significant impulse control issues. They have a way harder time resisting that impulse and obeying rules. With my difficult child, we locked up EVERYTHING. In our old house, we had a second full-sized fridge in the basement which we kept padlocked. The kitchen fridge was only for foods and drinks with no restrictions (fruit, vegetables, etc.) We installed key locks on every door in the house, interior and exterior. Every morning before school, and every afternoon when difficult child got off the school bus, we would check his backpack (including the seams, in case he hid something between them) and make him empty his pockets, turn up his collar or turtleneck, sleeves, socks and shoes. This was the only way we ere able to slow down the sneaking and lying (and he STILL sometimes got things past us). I agree with MWM that your daughter may have other underlying issues that haven't yet been discovered or addressed. Wish I had better answers too. It sure is hard. Trinity [/QUOTE]
