Re: Early Childhood Days
Well don't forget she feels inadequate and worse than you do. She knows the other kids can do it and she can't. This is the time for positive reinforcement and not negative or punishment. The idea is to help her. She is going to be battling with self-esteem and confidence issues becuase of this.
Additionally because her parents don't pay any attention to her from what you have described and that she is a kid she doesn't understand her feelings and emotions so she acts out. You have two choices really. Take over control for her sake but this is a long term commitment a god 5 or 6 years. Or just forget about it, because half-assing with his kid will just confuse her and destory her self-esteem and psychology even more.
