[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 133003, member: 3647"] Hey Jen, Have you read "the explosive Child" yet? Marg's suggestions are rather similar. I like how she said that it is better to steer than push. Many times, the child has no clue that you are the one doing the steering. You say older difficult child has computer, ipod, stereo, house phone in her room? There ya go. If punishments don't work, hit her where it hurts. It is your house, and you get to establish the rules. First, don't micromanage. Decide what is important. Prioritize. Give her a set of rules to follow. Tell her that you are starting fresh, and she has to do this and such. You get to decide what rules are imperitive. She does not follow the rules, she starts losing things out of her room. And by the way, you also get to decide if she gets to date this guy. You have every right to forbid it. Take control back. Your house, your rules. [/QUOTE]
