[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your child is 10. If her behavior is so bad that it’s getting her kicked out of school, she either: 1.) has some undiagnosed issue 2.) she has never been disciplined in her life. Have you done a neuropsych?[/quote] Yes. Twice. Like I said, both showed nothing other than mild anxiety. She is [b]constantly [/b]disciplined for not abiding by our rules, so often that it's exhausting and I wish I had never had kids. [/quote] If this is the case, then you sit her down and calmly and matter of factly tell her that she will be moving schools next year, and exactly the reasons why. She needs to learn that her actions have consequences. You might also consider putting her on a low does of Lexapro. I wouldn’t be surprised if the “mild anxiety” is more than that.[/quote] Wouldn't the neuropsych evals have picked up anything else?[/quote] That’s because she doesn’t have anything else. There are discipline issues that the parents didn’t do correctly at a younger age and now child is a world class brat. [/quote] Like I said, she's grounded more often than not and has been since K. We do discipline, every single day. [/quote] May I gently suggest, as someone who has the same tendency, that if you're disciplining that much you aren't doing so effectively? The usual problem is not consistently enforcing the rules, so your kids never know when they will get away with stuff. Maybe having fewer rules that are more of a big deal to you might help. That way you always discipline for those infractions, but your kid has some freedom within those boundaries.[/quote] Oh, we're consistent. It's exhausting, but we're consistent. When she won't ever study or practice piano, what are we supposed to do? She has never shown that she's capable of earning freedom. [/quote] This piano nonsense just reenforces that disciplining incorrectly has been the issue all along. [/quote]
