[QUOTE="buddy, post: 480276, member: 12886"] Hi there, your daughter sounds wonderful! Not at all diminishing the fact that she is a really challenging child, but I love the great things you post about her. You got some good advice as far as seeing a neuropsychologist and maybe, if you can do that, wait until that time then start medications. If it is a long time away and if the connors points to a possibility that adhd is an issue then a trial on medications could be helpful. Your expectations are really good, it doen't cure anything, but it can put our children into a place where teaching skills can happen more readily. I too like Ross Green, The Explosive Child and his other books. We went the behavior chart, reward route on and off (mostly to humor people who insisted it would work, and then when they tried, of course it didn't) Hard to keep a sticker chart or other chart especially when your child rips them out of your hand or off a wall an destroys them. My son is not good t delayed gratification so doesn't earn things that way ever. (In fact if he wants something I know he can't have, instead of saying no I say well if you can do X for a full month....knowing full well that will not happen...but he is always gung-ho to try. I always let him start over too...IF he ever does do teh correct behavior that long I WOULD get he reward!) [/QUOTE]
