[quote=Anonymous]Pp here- we give both older kids same attention for good and bad behaviot--both would get in trouble for bad behavior.  She doesn't listen and she does things that get her in trouble. My 12 year old son helps with the baby- is gentle and helps- she is so rough, she always makes him cry. We have works with her to show her how to read to him, play with his toys. We have told her he's too heavy to hold him, let's just play with him and she'll come barreling in, pick him up and he falls. 
   But it's not just with him- it's getting ready in morning - every morning- she complains and argues about her lunch, breakfast, misses the bus- we all start the day the same hoping for the best- but by time we get to bus or have to drive her, we are all upset. Dealing with her in morning, actually means my older son gets no help- we are all focused on dealing with her.
     She can be super sweet and great little athlete- we try to make huge deal at all her accomplishments, but day to day is tough to not yell at her 75% of the time.[/quote]
