Sorry forgot to say

I postes yesterday about an epileptic child.. but in the statment i said this her mother is epileptic and so is the child lol. Sorry hope this clears things up a bit more.. Just to refresh this is what i wrote.. just stating that my neice IS epileptic and has been on medication for around 2 years it.

My mother and I have been raising my 4yr old neice (5 in december)  the mother (my sister) Is epileptic, and is unable to care for my neice, we have raise this child from about 3 mths old. Latley her behaviour has deteriorated to the point that today she kicked her pregnant teacher, She spits at children pinches,bites and she will scream on the top of her lungs for 15min or more straight! She has also become destructive, She has hit her mother, Myself, She stabbed her mother with a pencil and on the same day had used a paddle pop stick to try and stab her teacher, She will rip pictuers of the wall at school , She will scream if somone looks at her, She has become very rude, and cruel. She has hit the dogs and will drag them around or tie them up. She wont share, she will hit children and scream at them if they try and share toys with her, she will get in moods that she wont let anyone sit near her and if they do she will scream at them and hit them. We have tried everything from takin away the tv, toys, sending her to her room, Making her stand in a corner, we have tried making her say sorry, and explaining what she has done wrong, she knows what she does is wrong and she knows she is doing it. We tried Positive reinforcement, and even a sticker chart, but nothing is working, She has lots of fruit and veg and healthy foods so its not sugar.. Please help.. if you have any ideas we can try to help tame this child

I would say speek to the doctors about having a scan done to see if there is a furder damaged done to the brain. Have a rewiev of her medication. What is she on?????? and what epilepsy does she have???? I could tell you more if I know this things as I am a disability worker and 99% of my clients had epilepsy.

She has been better since ive had her at my place with me for a couple days, I am thinking of moving back in with my mother for a while and move out slowly, This will give her time to be with my baby when its born, and hopefully we can work with her and with a behaviour counciler.
Thanks for your input :)

Hi there, I just wanted to say that I agree totally with madchanny. The poor little girl is probably feeling very alone and vulnerable right now with all the changes in her life. Good luck to all of you.

hi,
i think she has taken anger out on the teacher because she is pregnant too, it looks to me like she doesnt like the fact that you are pregnant? she definately needs to see a behavioral councillor just to find exactly what is going on in her mind. Obviously there have been changes made in the way you are living and you cant change things back to suit her, you can't unfall pregnant to suit her either... I think she should go alone to the first few counselling sessions and slowly involve her closest family members..

i hope things get better, im really feeling for you right now

xx channy
