[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 411648, member: 84"] Regardless of what she has or doesn't have, being consistent is going to be the key. And if you can get her teachers on board as well......all the better. Tough but it can be done with enough parent/teacher communication. Was she older when you adopted her? If so, this may be learned behavior due to her past. It paid off for her then, she's hoping it will pay off for her now. Boundary testing is big in this age group to begin with....add in the background and a whole new environment and I'm not really surprised you're seeing this sort of behavior. She may or may not be ODD.....time will tell. When Travis was little I had to be "on it" so much for his behaivor......that if I wasn't careful I'd forget to praise him when it was earned and to just sit and snuggle him ect. Sometimes a kid you've had to have such battles with all day long it can be hard to feel affectionate with on occasion. So I'd have to stop and remind myself to do these things. It of course didn't make all the behaviors vanish......if it did he wouldn't be a difficult child lol.....but it did help if nothing else than with our relationship to each other. ((hugs)) And welcome to the board. :) [/QUOTE]
