[quote=Anonymous]I totally agree about seeking advice from a development pediatrician. The extreme behavior could be a result of anxiety or a behavioral disorder; she might also benefit from play therapy (the negative self talk is the worst of it IMO). Otherwise, I’m sure you’ve tried everything in the meantime, but I would implement (if you don’t have it already) a very strict schedule. Some of her flying off the handle may come from being anxious about what is happening next. Routine, structure, rules can bring a lot of good to a defiant child. But you have to be strict and stick to it or risk the outcome of her learning greater levels of manipulation. Also, some kids are more motivated by consequences for bad behavior than rewards for good behavior. Or a combo. Try the inverse of the treats to see if you get any changes. [/quote]
