Hi all, I have been searching so many sites for quite awhile. I am a mother of two, my newest one we adopter 1 yr ago and she is 6 yrs old. She definately has RADS. She is a handful. I would say we have made alot of progress in the year she has lived with us but we have along way to go. I am not real sure what is going on right now but since she went into 1st grade she has been lieing, stealing,spitting, pushing kids and interupting class so much the teacher can't teach. It has only been 5 days that they have been in school and it seems like we have taken 50 steps backward.
I have set up a meeting with the principal, child study team, the school conselor and her teacher. I would appreciate hearing about any techniques that have worked with your children in school. The only thing I have found so far is by giving her a consequence at home of a cheese sandwhich instead of family dinner. She hates cheese sandwhiches and loves EVERY THING else she has eaten, even liver. My husband thinks it is very mean to do this but there is nothing else that has worked at all for consequences. I have taken everything away, she doesn't care, I have tried rewards, she doesn;'t care, I have tried making her do excercises, she doesn't care, she loves to clean so that does not work, the only thing I have found that works somewhat is cheese sandwhich. Do you think this is mean. I need help, her behavior is just getting worse. Thanks for letting me ramble.
