This is more of a rant so I am sorry. But I am taking care of my friends 5 year old girl while my friend gets help. The little girl has been abused and mollested by her dad and his friends. The first few weeks have been hard but the last few days half of the times she has been so cuddly. She will come up to me and sit down in my lap and wants to be hugged and touched. It's adorable and sweet. Then a little bit after 2:00 she completely switches gears and will NOT listen. I have tried everything to keep her in timeout and she hits, kicks and punches. A few times I have had to give her a spanking which is the only thing she responds to usually. She is starting with a new therapist this week and I hope she is more hands on than he previous one. But does anyone have any idea why she switches gears at the -magic- hour.
