Hello everyone and Valentine's Day! I have a 14yo girl that is dx Bipolar and AdHd. She is becoming sooo defiant, mean, sneaky, a liar, thief, I cud go on and on. She has no fear or respect of authority. Her principal wrote her up for her attitude and she waddled it up and threw on the floor. She told me the other day that I agitate her because I tell her too many things at one time. She wont clean her room and resents being told to do so. She awakes in the middle of the night and sneaks food.

She has little to no priviledges because of the things she does around here. She called me from school yesterday and informed me she was staying for the school dance and I informed her she was dreaming. Right now I can still get thru to her somewhat but I think the day is coming where I wont be able to.

We havent made it to therapy in a cple of weeks because my other 2 kids had the flu. She thinks she is trying out for the dance team for next yearm but Im thinking maybe I shudnt let her. She has to learn some tuff consequences for her actions.

She is the best dancer on the dance team right now and I hate to pull her, thinking it might back fire on me...but something has to get thru to her.

Her therapist explained to me that her brain isnt even connecting that way...to reason like that.

Any thoughts on this?
