[quote=Anonymous]Your DD sounds like ours at 10. It got worse before it got better. It is good that they do well with peers and at school but they are clearly really dysregulated, especially at home. What helped for us, especially at that age, was DBT training (the parent/child curricula) for myself and my husband. I can well image you have generally good parenting skills but kids like that need a whole different level of engagement/management. Even if you can change your approach to her just a bit, it can make a big impact on her behavior. Ultimately, she will also benefit from DBT skills training for herself but parents need it first. The problem, of course, is that you may not be able to find a DBT program where you are in Maine. I'm not sure how to help with this. I'm not sure if there is an online option somewhere. One other quick suggestion is the book The Explosive Child by Ross Greene. I highly recommend reading that.[/quote]
