Day one of behavior therapy...
Today we officially began ignoring all negative behavior that does not hurt Ben and does not threaten a trip to the emergency room.
So far, I have patiently watched my daughter ingest cardboard, stand on countless wobbly things including my sewing machine, and sprinkle smoothie on the carpet. I am not supposed to say no ever, but I have said it maybe 30-40 times. Sadly, that is a huge improvement.
Let's see if this works without any major medical problems.
I think I am more tired not intervening than I am when I physically stop her.
Did I mention that my daughter eats cardboard?
