Keep going and pushing the doctors to listen to you and RECORD THE BEHAVIOR to show them. Ask to see a specialist. Get her into therapy. Sounds like ODD to me. Possibly ADHD. My daughter has that, adhd, anxiety and sensory processing. It took so long to get a doctor to listen to my concerns, and then longer to get to a specialist. She is doing much better now and got into OT recently with therapy and everything else.

I would definitely get her into counseling, even if you did before, maybe the therapist was not capable. Find a new one and also get one for you and your husband, you guys need support too. Ask your daughter’s therapist about family counseling.

When my daughter turned 13 I had no idea who was living in my house and I gave her the option to talk with me or go to a therapist. She wouldn’t talk to me so I called and set her up with a therapist. Best decision I ever made.

My daughter (now 26) and I always had a very good relationship and she told me everything and her friends would even talk to me about any issues they had because they felt they couldn’t speak with their own Moms and I gave them different ideas on how to approach a conversation with their Moms.

Communication is key. Unfortunately she is in her pre-teen years and their hormones are out of control. Things eventually got better with my daughter but it requires a lot of patience and hard work.

Ask her about what is going on in school, in life in general and hopefully that will open the gates for communication. Reassure her that you love her and that this is just a rough patch you are all going through and let her know that you’re always there for her for whatever she might need. Let her know that you want to help make things easier for her to deal with and that she can always talk to you no matter what. She may not be receptive at first but she’ll come around.

Also, the one lesson that stuck with me from her therapist is don’t jump to react when she tells you something. Take the time to think about what she said and let it process then when you are calm go to your daughter and say you’ve given some thought to what she said earlier and give her your input. I would react first then think about it. It took me some time to change that but it definitely helped both of us.

I now have a 6.5 year old son and he literally tells me everything! And I mean everything! If it’s something that makes me mad, I calm myself down before responding.

I hope this helps some and that you do find a new therapist for your daughter.

My 9 year old son is the same way. I will not give up on him but there are days where I just don’t want to do it anymore between Drs Meds Specialists etc

When I was this age there was no such thing as ADHD, you acted out and you got your a$$ beat, problem solved

I am in the same boat =[ but with a 10 year old boy

Mayb look at who she hangs with i had a friend that her daughter hung out with a girl that everything she said or did she reflected out for instance she came home one day claiming she just started to stutter and stuttering she did bad job at it but did it she also came home 1 day and claimed she needed a dr for anxiety and acted stressed out then the im identifing as a boy stage then the im lesbian stage girl this went on for a few yrs and she took her to numerous drs with the same thing we find nothing wrong it was always the same perfect girl around other family and school well then one blessed day this other girl moved to texas so no more communication but phone every now and then out of the blue she started going back to her original self 3 yrs they went threw this to find out it was one girl at school that was acting out cause her parents were drug userels and didnt pay attn to her so she tried everything to get it from them in turn my friends kid picked it up and started doing it as well so after she moved and things slowly went back to normal they got it and pulled their daughter out of a big school and sent her to a small county school and everytime thwy noticed change they addressed it right away no problems since so little thought about ur daughter u may need to look into who is influencing her

Also ask her what do you think this punishment should be when, this happens, often parents don’t stick to the rules, which is confusing, but my bet she’s very manipulative and knows you better then you know you. Give her the responsibility of what punishment, should be, and give it different scores and different, strengths of punishment. Start with pocket money. But what about good things she would like to do, as with mum time, and or just dad time. These are just as important. Things that interest each of you taking it in turns.

First she needs to be evaluated by a doctor or psychologist to understand the function of the behavior. From there you can get an understanding of a direction to go in. Consistency even when and if it is hard is definitely key. It sounds like because this is a difficult thing to follow through with (positive reinforcement for example) that you may have stopped because it wasn’t working. I may be wrong in that statement and I apologize if so. Sometimes it is VERY hard when things aren’t working the way you imagined. Again, I can’t stress this enough. Have the evaluation and then answers will come. Know that you are not alone and you should not have to feel like you are!

Also contact sendiass as they will be able to help also!! Including with getting her seen!! At this age she may be able to skip paeds que by applying to chams for help through sendiass!! Stay strong xx

Has she always been this way or is this something new? How is she at school? Something is for sure going on with her. Start recording everything , keep a journal as to behaviors and triggers, etc. good luck!

It sounds like both you and her would benefit from counseling.

I feel your pain. We’re getting into counseling, school support, and a better understanding of our kids worlds. Everything we do can be so different when looking from their point of view. We have cameras and we replay situations/ behaviors that need to be addressed. Tough love, positive reinforcement and accountability… Just keep trying and loving. Tell her you love her, what your goals for her are, and you’re just trying to help her get there.

Prayers for you. Went through this with my oldest. Hope you can get some help. I tried everything. Unfortunately now my oldest is 19 and has been in jail since March 13 for beating up her younger sister and I. :cry:

Talk to the counselor at school and see if she can recommend really suited for your daughters behavior! She’s screaming for attention and not in a good way!

All these comments stating to “reward her” even tho she said positive reinforcement doesn’t work. Of course she’s gonna keep doing it if you give her extra attention and let her stay home from school. And everyone shaming her, shame on all of you. She’s reaching out for help. If your not going to offer advice keep scrolling.

If she is pleasant to everyone but you, then you are the problem. She obviously feels disliked and acts out for attention. Yeah, you are gross for doing that to your child. Figure yourselves out, you are both damaging that kid. 9yo aren’t master manipulators that can fool the whole world. You probably neglected her and now are shocked this is what she acts around you both. This came from something and it’s clear it was from you, you are the one that needs therapy!
Let me make this perfectly clear. If you think a 9yo is solely responsible for her whole life and the parents didn’t ver much obviously neglected her, then you are also a bad parent. Feel free to keep crying in my replies, but that’s the truth, and idgaff if you cry about it. :woman_shrugging:t2::rofl:

I feel this in my heart… keep with psychologist therapist and everything else. They will teach her how to control and manage these behaviors its going to take work. My daughter is 7 and shes going to therapy along with ither things

She needs to stay in therapy and see a psychiatrist. My daughter has ASD/ADHD and now they are saying ODD…she had to be put on meds because she wouldn’t sleep more than two hours and every day was so exhausting, and unfortunately I was feeling the way you are feeling. It was causing our family to fall apart. I tried multiple therapist and didn’t get any help until I found the right one. The lady finally listened to me and new it was urgent when she seen my daughter scratch me and kick me! As far as people saying “you,” are the problem, that isn’t necessarily true. We are our kids comfort zone and they tend to act out more with us. I really hope that you find the help you need. Mom to mom I understand how you are feeling and even though you love your child, it’s hard. Hugs to you.

I honestly don’t know how people can regard this as the parents fault, while mental diseases are a real thing that has very often been diagnosed at very young ages. It is people that deliberately chooses to pretend that it doesn’t exist, that contributes to people denying such illnesses, not seeking help and overall getting worse.
Mom, well done for your effort. Recording might be helpful (and maybe not letting her know as this might cause her to act differently once again). I would advise seeking help for yourself to get out of depression and learn coping mechanisms. As for her… I would recommend getting her to a psychiatrist that might actually do a proper diagnosis and this might maybe even require admitting her in a ward. Sometimes kids act out and it may be caused by some occurrence or event. Sometimes kids have actual mental diseases that may be serious and needs intervention and help. And getting your child that makes you a great mom, and very loving at it.

Wow. My kids got a little willful around 3. My father-in-law at the time said kindly,”nip that in the bud. If you don’t show them who’s the parent and who’s the child by the time they’re 4, you’re gonna have a mess.” I took him at his word and the kids started standing in the corner or losing TV privileges for the afternoon then and there if they misbehaved. That helped a lot. So you have one that’s 9 trying boundaries? You’ve tried therapy? I would try another therapist. One that knows about ODD. You didn’t say if she was acting up at school. Just that she said at school she was being abused. She’s clever, that one. She will need someone who’s on their toes. As for you, a lot of people here are landing on you. My guess is that you were pretty permissive, used to think her tantrums were cute… even if not, they were let go too long. You should have sought help sooner. And, I wouldn’t rule out boot camp… I’ve heard it does wonders.

Once again…this is what happens when spare the rod…spoil the child. Friendly parenting trend not working out so well. Spanking only ever teaches a kid respect and discipline. It is not abuse. Let her behavior go too long. Then try to say has a mental issue and needs to stay doped up so dont have to deal with the kid. Does more harm than a good whooping would do to start doping kids up at young age. May have to scare her straight at this point. Let cops come and take her to jail for couple of hours next time she steals or acts that way. Or boot camp all summer long. People gotta learn eventually…start discipline early or kids will run all over you. They get awful if dont have firm discipline from time they can walk…popping hands to popping butt later on saves you from seeing your kid turn into a thug.

Is it possible she has something really bothering her? Sometimes hormones can really mess a young one up…maybe a check up is due?

I had this for 5 years with my son after I split from the kids Dad & I felt the same way. Either she’s a Psychopath or something has traumatized her. Kids act because they don’t have the skills to verbalize their feelings, heck adults do it. You could try Ashwanghanda to start and try to stay calm and reasonable when she acts out. Set boundaries, stay consistent. She needs to learn this isn’t how we behave. Give her opportunities to say how she feels and if you can, see a Youth worker. Not a Therapist etc. A professional that knows how to connect with kids. Good luck.

It sounds like she needs doctors that are more fit for her bc what I am reading is all within the realms of needing a diagnosis. Not every dr is skilled to do so and not ever dr cares, so it will take time finding these resources but it sounds like she can be on the spectrum or have other issues. Once this is done I’m sure medication and the correct form of therapy will make life easier.

I will be the mean, bad guy here. Have you ever spanked her? To the ones talking about mental issues, I BELIEVE THEY ARE REAL AND CHILDREN HAVE THEM!!! But let me tell you a secret. Children are smarter than they were when I was young. They act out without fear of repercussions. They think “I will get put on meds and I won’t have to do anything!” Or “I can steal them and sell them” or whatever. Y’all give kids today too much coddling! Put a belt to her butt and teach her that if she wants to act like that, she will be treated accordingly.

I disagree with those who say a 9 year old is a narcicist, etc. Oftentimes the “problem child” or “black sheep” or whoever is targeted as the one in need of intervention has adopted maladaptive coping strategies themselves. Keep being curious and trying to understand! It sounds terribly challenging!

You got a kid who hits you and you give her “time out?”

You have let the world, the media, and Hollywood convince you that spanking is bad. You believe the twisted logic that an old-fashioned whipping is a “bigger person hitting a smaller person” and other bs like that.

Your situation reminds me of what my father used to say. If you don’t whip your kids they will whip you one day.

Your kid is already whipping you. Get this new age nonsense out of your mind and discipline that kid. It is biblical and has stood the test of time since Adam and Eve. It’s also common sense.

Really no advice for you as it sounds like you are doing all you can but just know there are brighter days ahead, that this stage normally don’t last. I had a lot of the same issues with my oldest son besides the hitting. That thankfully he has never done but he is now 21 & once he got a little older into highschool he completely did a 360 & turned from night to day. So I’m sure in your situation it will get better for you to. Just keep doing everything you are doing & if possible keep having her see a therapist or even one at school (alot of times the school has a therapist for the kids). It may not work right away but eventually it gets easier & better! Your not a bad Momma, your just stressed & you have every reason to be. Good luck.

Where might your child be seeing the following behaviors that she is now modeling?

Who in her life does these things?

Lie, steal, talk back, be mean, hit people, and resents doing work at home so refuses to do it.

Is it a person? A tv show? A social media application? Somewhere she has learned these behaviors.

These are also cries for help in someone who has trouble communicating.

I hope she finds a safe person to communicate her needs to and someone who can model for her the way she should behave with healthy ways to express emotion. I also hope she is safe.

He is on medication. But his mom doesn’t get him the help he needs. He meets every check mark for a sycopath. Nobody can stand to be around him he’s an absolute horror in the classroom we’ve had to switch schools twice now because of his behavior he did not go to school for 32 days this school year so far because he didn’t want to and he cussed his mom out and threw things at her so she did not make him go . I just don’t understand why his mother does not get him more help than what she does because she doesn’t hold a job and so time is not a problem for her she’s just lazy and she doesn’t want to make him do anything she didn’t even make him potty train until I came into the picture and when he was seven I was like no I’m not wiping his butt he is going to start using the toilet and he didn’t even mind sitting in his poop all day it didn’t bother him at all and I feel like there’s something really wrong there and I know that he needs help and I I would take him to therapy myself I would make the time to take him because I took my kids and you know I did whatever it took to make sure they turned out good and I don’t feel like they’re giving him that shot and he’s going to be one of the kids that they just pushed through the cracks and he goes down the wrong path and nobody does anything to help

I hate to say this but, if you’re psychiatrist didn’t help, FIND ANOTHER ONE! Your child needs a diagnosis and soon. And sadly, if she doesn’t have a diagnosis, especially being so young, she cannot get the help she needs. And this isn’t good to be an overnight fix- this sounds like something she’ll be living with for life. If something doesn’t change drastically, you’ll find yourself visiting her in juve, or worse, the state/federal penitentiary. Your child has tendencies, and they’re not good ones.

Does she know how you feel about her? Most times kids can pick up on that respond accordingly. Maybe try one on one time a couple times a month—that may change it. This is what they call attention seeking behavior, but it’s really seeking a connection. If she can’t get good attention (connection), she’ll settle for the bad.
