Hi,
I have a 14 yr old daughter, ODD, responds only to immediate carrots as she cannot sustain good behaviour for long. Currently she has lost her phone and iPod. I don't know what a reasonable time to take this away for. She lost it for using it irresponsibility. Problem is, her favourite line is "I have nothing to lose - why behave?". Combative, does not do transitions between her dad's house and our house well, marks have dropped this year in high school, verbally and mildly physically argumentative, senstitive to fabrics, etc. I am quite often embarassed by her behaviour in public. I feel like I have a two year old with a potty mouth. My 11 yr old isn't like this and people are so judgemental. I am reading the Explosive Child. She has been diagnosed with ODD but we don't have benefits for continued psychologist and she won't say ANYTHING anymore anyway (just sits with a closed mouth for an hour). Any suggestions?
