[QUOTE="neednewtechnique, post: 78886, member: 3527"] I kinda like daisylover's approach as well, but it just seems so harsh. Don't get me wrong, in most cases, that is EXACTLY what it takes to get THROUGH to our difficult child's and it probably would make quite an impression. But with her still being new to our family and trying to get used to having "parents" and people who ARE paying attention to her whereabouts and making sure she follows rules, it seems more like we need to find ways to help her LEARN how to handle these changes in parenting styles from what she is used to, rather than just punish her for breaking the rules. Once we get her used to having involved parents and she gets more adjusted to living in our house with our rules, I DEFINITELY would take daisylover's approach!! I have never read that book that you referred to about this grounding system, but I am thinking of trying it to see. As far as checking in, she was SUPPOSED to be coming home to check in, that was the plan, for the same reasons that were mentioned above by someone. However, her LAST check-in time, she called and said that she had lost track of time and then asked if she needed to come home or if she could stay where she was (supposedly at B's house). This was a lapse in judgement on my part, because I agreed that it was okay for her to stay there without coming home to check in, but it was only once the entire day that she didn't actually COME here to check in.
