My daughter is driving me crazy. Literally.
I'm not sure what to do anymore. I usually don't ask for advice, because I like to figure out this parenting job on my own....but I need help.
Both of my kids are very destructive. I never remember ruining things like they do.....but lately, my daughter takes the cake. She rips up paper (which she has done since she was 2 by the way), she pulls the heads off her barbies, she rips apart her polly pocket clothes, she puts stickers EVERYWHERE, she finds new and inventive ways of destroying her toys.....
I have tried all I can think of to stop the behavior....
-talking about it
-timeouts
-spankings
and the latest coming yesterday.....
She was grounded. Her toys were removed from her room. She is not allowed to play with her new BFF Zoey, she cannot watch movies for the week.
Tonight, I'm starting to make dinner, when I hear a very loud crash come from her room. Apparently she climbed up on her dresser, and the top part that has shelves on it, fell down. No one was hurt, thankfully. She is currently laying in her bed thinking about what she did....But what is the next step? Take EVERYTHING out of her room? Why does she act like this? Why do I want to pull out my hair? How am I supposed to control this behavior? GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!
