[QUOTE="meggy1, post: 392684"] Currently working with a therapist (along with reading the Explosive Child). Have tried the rewards system but that hasn't helped either. It's like she gets something stuck in her head and her way is right and everyone else is wrong and nobody believes her. I actually emailed her teachers (had met with them two weeks ago) and explained the situation about the work that has not gotten done. Hoping they will have some ideas that may help even if it includes her staying late or going to school early to catch up. Just dreading the fighting that I know will be there in the morning. Maybe I should just get up extra early to get myself ready for work then take my medications so they'll have time to kick in before she gets up. Also, work on a way to protect my 9 year old in the process :-( I just keep telling myself there are people out there with worse problems then ours, or who have tragically lost children and that eventually difficult child will get better. It's the getting there that's the hard part. This forum does help with knowing I'm not alone :-) [/QUOTE]
