pulling my hair out

[Kazann]

Hi everyone

Having a bad day today 8yr dd is driving me nuts can't wait to get back to normal back to school,work etc i'm sure lots of you are feeling the same being stuck in with the weather like it is.
Where to start had two weeks at the Sound Learning Centre in London over October half term quite alot of improvement in reading and writing since the treatment but behaviour seems to be getting worse very rude to everyone at the moment, has a melt down if she does'nt get her own way, takes everything literally, hardly eats anything, doen'nt leave anyone alone for 5 minutes constantly wants attention, seems to love winding people up she will push and push until i lose it im quite a patient person so this is alot of pushing on her part, everything is RUBBISH and BORING she doesnt seem to enjoy anything.
I have tried everything sticker charts, time out, rewards nothing works really at the end of my tether, as it affects the whole family have 2 other DDS and 1 DS and i know they don't bring friends home becausr they are embarassed at how their sister behaves as they are older than she is being 13, 19 and 21 hardest for 13 year old she has to share a bedroom with her 8 year old sister so doesnt get much of a break from her, she has got a friend sleeping tonight and i am dreading it already as DD will not leave them alone and she is so loud shouts all the time can't talk normally, everyone in the house has a permanent head ache.
HELP! what can i do not much family support either feel very alone with it all.
Look forward to hearing from you all, take care in this cold and icy weather.

Hello Kazann I do sympathise with the hair pulling out feeling. My dd went to school Monday, sent home due to snow en route to school tuesday. Thick thick snow here and ice and we are at the bottom of a little lane. Upshot is poor child (11) has been in the house constantly and solidly since 9 am Tuesday. Electric wheelchair has been outside twice, child got v cold and it took longer to get the impacted snow off the wheels than she spent outside. I got out Thurs morning with other dd for a walk as i had a carer, and also Friday morning for a meeting, but otherwise have also been here. such a difficult thing to see all the snow, beautiful sunshine, pink sunsets etc and not to be able to go out with dd and enjoy it. should not moan as we are warm and have food, but feel unreasonably sorry for myself! No dh all week as normal. praying for the big melt!!

Could the sleepover be in your bedroom with the door shut?

Can only think more ignoring the attitude and behaviour tho i realise this will see an escalation in the behaviour and i know nothing of your dd difficulties.
