[QUOTE="Stella, post: 262196, member: 6837"] 2daughters, welcome to the site!! The fact that your poor daughter was molested by her dad could most certainly be the sole explanation for her behavioural problems so I am glad she is seeing a therapist who specializes in abuse. Has she ever tried play or sand therapy? I think this would be a great way for her to express herself as she is still so young. Re the play kitchen, whereas I am all for bribery once in a while I think a month of good behaviour may be setting your expectations too high and will be unattainable -especially for a four year old. It may be better to start off with a smaller reward with a smaller time limit - even start off with a day (including bedtime). Re the neigbhours, you really can't waste your energy caring what they think but I can see why neighbours would be genuinely concerned. If it feels like the right thing to do, you could try disclose a little information about her behaviour and leave it at that. You only need to say it once. Then you will be comfortable knowing the neighbours know your difficult child is not screaming because you are beating her up. It might make lessen the pressure a bit for you. You are doing a great job!!! ((HUGS)) [/QUOTE]
