[QUOTE="klmno, post: 113615, member: 3699"] I've been staying out of this one but now feel the need to throw out my 2 cents (or, is that 2 SENSE LOL)!. I agree with Nancy's post above on this. I understand you are very frustrated and that your difficult child has been VERY difficult child'ish. My son is on probation for the second time. He did fabulous on it the first time and is doing good, not fabulous, this time. But, he'll never be a perfect easy child, Know what I mean?? If he's doing something typical teen, I feel it's important for several reasons to discipline him in a typical teen way, without notifying the PO. Likewise, if he does something he's supposed to that is acknowledged, rewarded, etc. One thing about him, it's important for the rewards for doing what he's supposed to are more noticeable than the punishments for not, within reason. I'm just saying for him anyway, positive reinforcement normally is more effective. SD was suspending over the least little transgression and giving candy for a week of good behavior- that's absurd, in my humble opinion, and had no good results with my difficult child. I know this is hard for you- your ticked and frustrated and it almost sounds like you resent her being there and are coming close to "baiting" her- sorry- that's just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
