[quote=Anonymous]Op, my DD is very similar to your description. We’ve also tried everything, and Ive concluded that it will always be a “dance” between methods. You punish too severely, it makes it worse. You ignore too much, it makes it worse. You try exclusively focusing on connection, doesn’t help. In another thread, a poster mentioned that her son is “energized by conflict.” My DH and I are utterly different, but it describes our DD so well. I think it’s a helpful description for kids like this because “parenting methods” usually presuppose kids don’t want conflict! I think for kids like that you just keep focusing on their admirable qualities, emphasizing kind behavior and putting reasonable limits (I.e, just turn the tv off as punishment, no drama). [/quote]
