[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a lot of jerks posting here acting like: “Duh OP just do these 85 steps in the same exact order! Be a PARENT!”

You all suck.

OP, she sounds extremely hard. I would start by implementing the sleeping in next days clothes and short hair. Low hanging fruit to make this easier. Prioritize the food and bathroom issues.

They don’t write parenting advice for kids like this. In previous generations, kids like this were beaten into compliance. I’m not saying that’s the solution, but let’s not pretend that standard parenting advice works for kids like this.

I've also been surprised by the way people are piling on. Parenting is HARD! Parenting a child with differences is HARD! Can we all show some empathy?

She's looking for advice & help, and it's fine to give that, but it can be done without put downs & sarcasm.

OP, my husband and I took the Parent Child Journey course led by Dr. Dan Shapiro (others have mentioned it here in this thread and if you search his name, you'll find tons of people recommending it). The course is pay what you can & there are different options for how to take it (there is a course in person, a go at your own pace course with online videos, and the 3rd option which is what I'd recommend the online videos & a weekly zoom discussion with Dr. Dan & other parent participants to discuss). I cannot say enough positive things about the course and Dr. Dan Shapiro.

We struggle with some of the same things that you mention in your post and while the course hasn't fixed everything, I do feel more confident in having a road map & tools to follow and go back to from the course.

Good luck!
