[blparent] behavior problems with our 4 year old

[Jessica Reed]

It sounds like you are doing everything right.  Things may not change right
away, but with love and professional help they will.  Another question,
could your daughter be reacting to any major recent changes?  Just trying to
provide ideas.

Hi Rob. I'm Chris's fiance Jodie. We are both blind and I think she is
testing us both, but we don't know what else to do now. We live in Vermont
and spanking is legal. We don't do it with her pants down, or with anything
other than our hands. It's only a last resort when we've tried everything
else. We both hate it, but it seems to have no effect on her. I guess
parents tell the truth when they say spanking hurts them more than it does
the child.

We've talked to Head Start, and with her doctor. She's referring us to a
behavioral therapist. That was Tuesday and we were told we'd hear from the
behavioral therapist within the week. We haven't heard anything yet, but
we're also working with a family advocate person from one of our local
family organizations and she's going to talk to the therapist too.

Thanks for your reply; Chris and I appreciate any suggestions or
encouragement at this point. I feel like nothing we do has worked.
