- help a plea from her Dad!

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone

is the horrible one not Elly ignore everything Flo says!

Seriously, this is a subject that Flo has posted on before but now it it is

getting quite ridiculous. Whenever I am with she shrieks like a

seagull. Yes, there are certain occasions when it clearly relates to our

interaction, for example me trying to get her to drink more milk in the

morning or I am trying to remove her nose and mouth from my leg (or

preventing her from doing this) - one of her compulsive behaviours (all she

does is touch and this is far worse with me than Flo).

When she does this shrieking with Flo and Flo signs for her stop, it's

horrible etc she does. For me it has no effect what so ever. Even tapping

her hand and signing that she is bad makes no difference, the other morning

she put her hand back out ! If I tell her off she just laughs. The only time

she has taken note is a couple of time I have lost my temper and she has

stopped.However its not great losing your temper and I find it very

difficult to fake. She has a naughty step - if Flo is not around she will

continue on this.

Tonight from when she came home from school until when Flo got home with

Elly some 2 hours it did not matter whether she was upstairs on the toilet

or eating dinner or playing she would not stop. She ended up on the naughty

some 5 times without any effect.

It had been suggested that I should try to ignore her (and given she is deaf

sign to her that I am ignoring her). This has had no effect.

Any thoughts anyone?
