[QUOTE="chuckles, post: 56317, member: 3864"] Thank you for the fast response. It's interesting that you mention 'baby proofing'. You should see the number of cupboard locks we have in our house! Not to mention, the study and husband's bar room having lockable door handles that are locked every night, and the key hung above the door. We did have a fridge lock, until I got sick of it a while back, but after the incident with the 'egg sandwiches' fully intend on getting one this week. The knives and things though are another story. I found the best bet was taking the handles off the drawers when she was a baby - it never was a problem then, but I took the handles off drawers I didn't want her in - it makes them hard to get into, but it's safer that way. It looks like we're going to need to do that again! My next solution after yesterday's near breakdown is to use the laptop and sit in the loungeroom where I can see her, or see her come out of her room if she's supposed to be in there. That way if she can see me she'll be less likely to get into things - and I have a visual alert that she's up to something - because my (self-preservation) reaction has been to 'tune out'. She's been at her current daycare centre for nearly a year now, and only just started showing her temper there. The carer's couldn't understand why we have her on an additive free diet, and low salicylate diet. Now they know. You know how when you are pregnant, you just know some things about what the child will grow up to be like? I have always had a feeling that she would be ODD, and I wonder if it is because I'm expecting it that is why it seems like what the problem is - though truthfully I can tick off 5 or 6 of the behaviours on this page that she indulges in every day. Either way, I intend to work on an intense program to help her to learn self-control, and failing that, I will take her to a child psychologist to come up with a 'behaviour modification plan' and make sure that there is no neurological condition - because we have a very stable loving family, and extended family aswell.
