[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact that she functions perfectly well outside of home - where she cannot do what she pleases - should be your most important clue. There is nothing wrong with her, you are just giving her too much control. You think you don't because you follow book, but the examples of what you allow her to do (e.g. slap door) speak for themselves. Also, bad behaviors need to be punished, not ignored.[/quote] Exactly. She know's she can manipulate you. I'm sure you give her choices to begin with, but I'm sure she pushes your buttons and you give in. All you've taught her is if she pushes hard enough, she gets what she wants. She is in control - not you, but when she's outside your care she does what she's told. She hasn't manipulated that adult. You need to lay some new ground rules, and for pete's sake follow through. Surely there are toys/items you can take away, trips for her that can be cancelled, etc.[/quote]
