My 5 year repeatedly does things she knows will get her in trouble. When she’s gets wind of something we dislike she will repeatedly do that thing relentlessly for days. No amount of cajoling/consequences/rewarding good behaviour will get her to stop. Most things are just tiny, I.e, placing her bowl hanging off the counter so it may fall (we try our best to ignore the little ones) but other things have an impact on other things/people like refusing to do homework, hitting her sibling or breaking his toys etc and can’t be ignored. She is a child that craves an enormous amount of attention which she does get, positive and unfortunately negative but I fear that all the attention in the world would still not be enough. I am a stay at home mum with one other child, both are adopted. Just looking for suggestions, ANY suggestions!

Ivan understand her putting a bowl on the side not quite right is annoying but it seems like you could be expecting a little too much from her? She's very little still.

You’re right and this is an example of the many small things that we ignore. The issue is the bigger things that can’t be ignored and the repetitive nature of doing things that she’s would previously not have done but consistently does after being told off once for them.

Can you give us more examples? Smile
