Our daughter, 5yrs. old, is openly defiant towards rules that have been put in place at home and school. It seems that she has no fear of authority, all attempt to discipline her have failed ... we have tried time out's, spanking, taking away prized toys and television privileges. Nothing works. She is a very intelligent child with an amazing imagination. She is a middle child but as parents we spend plenty of time with her; Art, Sports, Dance ...
She is in a private christian school that is very structured, she is in her 2nd year of kindergarten (we kept her back, based on fear of her not being ready) and will turn 6 in mid-sept.
Older sister is in 2nd grade, over achiever, easy going, mild mannered, smart and funny.
Younger brother is 2yrs. old, no negative behaviors.
For years we have joked that we have a college fund for one child and a bail fund for the other, being that the girls are so young and don't understand the concept. Lately, our innocent joke seems to be transforming into a true possibility.
Can anyone suggest idea's to curb the behavior ...
