Answer #1:
you need to find another psychologist because this is not something she is just going to grow out of. Talk to her pediatrician too and see if they can help you find someone. Also her school guidance councilor might be able to help. Please do not give up on this little girl. She needs you guys because it is obvious some bad things are going on. I would also get a really good lawyer and go back to court or call CPS and have them investigate again. she needs to get away from her mother. I'm sorry, i wish I could help more. Keep fighting for her though.Answer #2:
I would suggest FAMILY COUNSELING. This way you work together as a family through this. A child psychologist can tell you one thing, but counseling would be the best way to go to fix any underlying issues.I would also suggest getting to know her, it may be hard for you since she is a disrespectful little twit. But I think by taking her and her sister out to the movies, getting your nails done, getting mini makeovers [something like that] would help make a bond and she'll loosen up a bit. It won't be easy but it's worth a shot.
TALK to you husband if there are any issues between you and this child, he is her father after all and make sure you and your husband are in the clear about punishments when she disrespects you or does something bad under your care.
Make notes of what is it that she does, like:
-Threw toy at sisters head
-Lied about _____
and show her how those things is what makes her ugly. Not physically, but it makes her someone that no one wants to be around. Ask her how she would feel if her dad treated her that way.
She's obviously acting this way for some reason, maybe because her father doesn't really discipline her and lets her off easy, maybe she still has those mommy issues, maybe she feels threatened by you.
Good luck!
Answer #3:
Go talk to a better psychologist. These are problems for an experienced parent or a good child psychologist. You have to be very strict with kids like that so when she was in my custody I would not let her go out with friends and make her do family activities. But I would also seek the advice of a "real" psychologist because not one would tell you that her acting as crazy as she is acting is a phase and to wait it out.** Powered by Yahoo Answers
