[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you tried a more playful approach? My 4 year old DD sounds like yours, maybe a little less extreme. I've found that if I talk like her favorite character, she becomes a better listener. I'm still firm, she gets consequences for misbehavor etc. But she does seem to behave better when I try to get into her playful imagination instead of me constantly enforcing the rules. [/quote] Yes, this does work sometimes if her mood is halfway decent to begin with. Sometimes she'll let this fly, other times no. The behavioral specialist we are seeing is starting "play therapy" with her this week. I honestly don't see how this will help, since she will no doubt cooperate perfectly for the therapist. They have said we will do family therapy as well, but I'm not sure when. The wheels seem to be moving at a really slow pace. [/quote]
