[quote=Anonymous]123 Magic is very effective with a kid like this, because it helps you keep your emotions out of it. You count when they don’t follow directions, get to three, and it’s a time out or immediate consequence. “That’s one to no dessert, that’s two to no dessert…” Give a minute to let her rethink in between. You can also have her copy a paragraph about respect for each instance. You wrote it, and she has to copy it. “I know that respecting others is important. This includes my words, actions, and tone of voice. When I am respectful others know that I am doing the right things etc etc. This is not the kids with writing disabilities, it will get the point across quickly. They can copy it twice if need be. If you are really struggling with this, you should look for a parenting coach or family therapist, because this child will be very hard to parent as she gets older. She needs her energies redirected. Some kids are harder than others. And absolutely do what you can to bond with her alone. Think of it as putting money in her emotional bank. And try to remember that she truly doesn’t want to ruin her relationship with you. She’s acting out underlying feelings and might know better, but for some reason, isn’t able to do better. Good luck.[/quote]
