Had enough! Please Help!

[kiara n natyns mummy]

My DD is 3.5 and for the last couple of months has been acting extremely naughty.
I tell her not to turn lights on and off, not open the blinds and windows, not unlock the front door and walk out and she continuously does it.
When i tell her not to do something she yells and screams, especially when her brother is asleep, if i say no to something she will yell and cry until she gets it.
At night when i put her to bed she gets out of her bed and stands in the hall way until i put her back and she does this continuously for half an hour every night.
And the list goes on....

It is extremely exhausting, we have tried ignoring her, yelling, smacking, sitting in her room till she calms down - which she doesnt calm down!

Please i need some help.

Sounds similar to problems I am having with my DD Twins. I have one of them who can get hysterical over something until she starts chocking and being sick.

I have started them on Kidz Minerals Be Calm. They are chewable tablets available in with the vitamins at the chemist. Since I started them on it I have different children. Yes I still do have days where she is moody, but that is now due to tiredness.

I feel for you, I have had nights where I haven't slept because I have been emotionally drained from trying to cope with it.

PM me if you want to chat more.

Thanks, i'd never heard of them before now.
I might have to give them a go, coz i don't no how much longer we can put up with it.

Thanks again.

wow - my DS sounds EXACTLY the same... my DH ecently said he needs to go on an elimination diet or something coz he is so exhausting coz he is just buzurk and hypo all day (my DH describes him as psycho).... how did you find out about those tablets and are they really THAT great?!

I really feel for you and know exactly how you feel, my DD(6) has been feral since she was 4. She never does as she is told spits, kicks, hits, scream you name it she does it.. I kept been told "oh its normal" "she'll grow out of it" well i had enough i went to my health nurse, my doctor and also a peadiatrician i had even called help lines aswell coz there were times that i couldn't deal with her... She is a little better now she is prep so she is at school every day, but she still gets me to tears.. I sometimes fel i have lost my connection with her coz i'm always so angry at her, But we are getting assessments done through her school testing for aspergers syndrome or some type of pervasive devolepment disorder. The biggest problem i have is that she is an angel with everyone elso so knowone sees her meltdowns and anger!!! But i am trying to get it sorted and i hope you do to.. Just get as much info about types of dicipline and also things to help you cope coz when your angry it feeds there anger too... Good luck i hope it works out and be strong

Has anyone else tried ''Kalm Kids''?

Atleast i know i'm not the only one with a overactive child that never listens!

Up until starting the girls on these tablets they very rarely slept in there own bed all night. Since starting, they now go to bed easily, and sleep all night in there own room. During the day, yes we still have our moments, but they are alot better. I am so glad i found these tablets.

I found out about them when I went to the chemist to get Brauer Calm which is an all natural liquid calmer, one of the ladies that works there suggested these tablets aswell. They can have both of them together, but I find if they have the tablets during the day it works enough, and then come to bed time if they won't have the tablet I can put the liquid one in there drink and it works really well.

Oh yay! At least my DS isn't the only one who behaves like that :p !

I found what helps is to sit down with him and write up house rules, and firmly outline what they are. THey are stuck up in the living room where they can easily be seen, and they are like the 'law' of the household. I have found it helps :). Not only for DS, but also for me to be strict and firm with him.

sometimes changing their diet can help. Particularly avoiding preservatives and additives. i knew a child (looked after her at childcare centre) who when she was about 3, started getting moody, and 'naughty', with lots of yelling, screaming, hitting and bitting. we suggested removing preservatives and additives from her diet and with in 2 weeks she was a changed girl. shes in school now and her mum still sends the centre christmas cards :laughing:. even small things like buying brumbys bread (no 282 preservative) can make a difference. This doesnt work for every child but it might be worth a try.
good luck :fingerscrossed:
