My sister had this problem with both her girls from 13 to 17. They get on great now!

It's the terrible teens, some go through it some don't.

she used to have fits as a baby & could only stop her by putting her in bath of cold water or she would overheat

She kicks the dog and he bites us??

I've got a 10 YO and I'd be down on her like a ton of bricks if she ever hurt an animal because she was having a tantrum and couldn't control herself.

Are you talking about an epilileptic fit, or a tantrum?

Because I've never heard of anyone putting a baby in a cold bath to stop them overheating, although I'll stand corrected if it's a medical thing. Still Shock though.

when did her difficult behaviour start? or what do you think might have triggered it?

have you heard of triple p? thats meant to be good.

as a baby - febrile convulsions (the body overheats ,then fits )
she grew out of it (about 5) eventually but not the temper tantrums .

yes im disgusted about her behaviour & the way she treats the dog & talks to people .
i have been very badly bitten by the dog as has she .(hospital)i have to seperate her & the dog ,she screams & smashes things in one room while the dog goes mad in another part of house if i can separate them without being bitten .
he is bein g rehomed as soon as my stepdad gets a home with garden .

I am sorry you are having this problem with your dd, have you considered taking her to see your gp. DS2 has similar tantrums and has all of his life, he has ADHD and is medicated. I am not saying that is what your DD has but there maybe something underlying that is causing them.
have you heard of triple p? thats meant to be good I did triple p as part of a course and it a horrid rigid course, although saying that if a child is going through an assessment for adhd some doctors make the parents go on it before they consider starting the assessment.

as i said he is being rehomed ,
he is a dachshund - her dog & her best friend .
its also not his fault .

she has special educational needs & has had problems making friends at school so at times he was her only friend .

she is not diagnosed as having special needs ,only learning problems but on a general spectrum not anything specific ,except concentration & memory
