[quote=Anonymous]On the proactive front, I'd work on making the home a calm, non-over stimulating environment. By that I mean remove the TV, tablet, game consoles, and smart phones. Lock them away. I know that sounds extreme but plenty of otherwise reasonable kids become destructive monsters when they have regular screen time. I'd remove them until she's 18. If she finds that upsetting, she can work on earning back 1 hr/day on weekends. On the reactive front, she's not too old for time outs. She can be sent to her room until she's calm, ready to apologize, and re-hang up all your clothes. Only her needs, and none of her wants, should be tended to until she's cleaned up. Biting and other violence is pretty extreme behavior for an 11 yo. If she can't explain why she's doing it, just focus on removing stimuli and folding in calming daily routines. She sounds like she needs chores, sports, and consequences, and perhaps some one to talk to. [/quote]
