[QUOTE="Malika, post: 411592, member: 11227"] Hello. I am sorry you are finding your daughter so difficult at the moment. I am sticking my neck out here, but I wonder if you can try to look at things from your daughter's point of view? Very hard with a 4 year old, I know. What might she be trying to communicate with this behaviour, what might she be hoping to achieve through it, or what might she be asking for or wanting? Not complying with adult's wishes is very annoying and frustrating for the adults but there is, in such a small child (particularly one with a troubled past), something behind it that the adult needs not to blame or "punish"... Again, very hard I know! These are just a few thoughts that occur to me... Others may have more salient or specific advice. [/QUOTE]
