[QUOTE="2daughters, post: 262775, member: 7134"] Luckily husband and I have managed to get on the same page for disciplining my daughter. We've got different ideas of the rewards though. I know his heart was in the right place when he did the kitchen thing. He knows how much she wants it and was hoping that it would work because it is something she really wants. I don't think it's the big reward at the end that she's not having so many meltdowns because I've altered my parenting. I heap on the praise for every good thing she does, and I'm not battling with her (unless she does something really bad). I have just finished another good day with my daughter. Today she actually had no melt downs! She did get upset when I wouldn't let her have a 3rd bath today, but it was nothing like what she usually goes through. One thing she did a while ago was cutting her own hair when she found out where the scissors were hidden (they've been moved again). She usually squirms a bit and gets really anxious whenever I try to "fix" her hair. Today she just sat there and wanted me to tell her everything I was doing while I was doing it. I'd told her afterward that because she was so good while getting her hair cut that when we go to see the "play doctor" (that's what she calls her psychiatrist) on Tuesday that we'll leave early so we can have lunch, and I let her play one of her games on the computer today. I did have to have a talk with her tonight though, but not because of her behaviors. My oldest daughter went on a rampage and attempted to verbally abuse me on the phone (she lives with her father, and I had to record the phone call), going as far as accusing me of some pretty heinous things. My daughter also heard my oldest daughter's father attempt to degrade me and verbally abuse me as well. I'd thought my youngest daughter had gone to play in her room or watch tv, and it wasn't until after I came out of the room that she told me what she'd heard. [/QUOTE]
