Daughter was diagnosed with a sensory integration problem...

Five years ago my daughter was diagnosed with a sensory integration problem when she was a child. Sure, it's tough to have that but her behavior is so nasty. She hates her brother. She's rude and defiant - the typical out-of-control stuff. She's on medication, refuses to speak to her therapist. She ruins every family party when she can't be the center of attention. My son wants to go to dinner on his birthday and does not want her to come along. Again, she is hostile, defiant, belligerent and loudly rude in public to get to us. Is it wrong to leave her with her aunt while we enjoy one peaceful outing. We are willing to let her have a dinner out on her September birthday without her brother, if she wants it that way.

Wow, I am sorry to hear this. My advice: tough love. She thinks you are beneath her and she doesn't need you. Don't react to anything she does. If she thinks her behavior is affecting you, it will continue and worsen.

I'm sorry to say this but really the reason she is like this is because of the way she was raised. You were probably not involved enough when she was younger. Get involved now. Don't let her life go down the drain because of your neglect. Don't be afraid of her.

Well you may want too look into conduct disorder or ODD. So basically she needs to see a psychologist!
