[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 338905, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Century Gothic]Wanted to add my welcome. Bad parenting likely doesn't come into play. More likely you're dealing with some learning disorder, emotional disorder or mental illness. A complete evaluation should be considered. As for your daughter's need to control every situation, I agree with Busy, some kids are just hard wired that way. My difficult child wm, for instance. It's up to your difficult child to pass or fail at school; other than an IEP to help your daughter, I would leave school issues as a natural consequence. You set up a time & place to do homework & then it's up to her. Let school know what you're doing & why. Is your difficult child on her way to an eating disorder? The need to eat continually suggests low self esteem, boredom, etc. Over the years I've learned to give the tweedles choices I could live with. Shower or bath. Cereal or toast. I started out small & worked my way up. For years I never said the word no - if asked for a snack I'd reply "yes, after dinner". "Bike ride? - Yes, after chores are complete or homework is done." See where I'm going here? Please keep us updated with how the counseling is going. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
