fascination with poop - 2007/01/03 06:06 I know this sounds crazy, but I have a beautiful 13 year old daughter who still thinks that poop and farting is very funny. I have trouble with her being disrespectful of me and she thinks she can do whatever she wants whenever she wants too. Her latest thing to really make me mad is to stick her finger in her anus and then pull it out and smell it at the dinner table. I have yelled and grounded her and taken away the cell phone, the dvd player, the computer, etc. but she continues this disgusting behavior. I can't find anything about it on the internet. No one would believe that this pretty girl acts so incredibly disgusting at home. It makes me outraged. Help! What can I do??? Is she insane? Would therapy help? Gees, when I was 13 I liked boys! What is wrong with her? She acts like she is 5 years old!

Re:fascination with poop - 2007/10/30 02:29 First of all, I think your daughter needs some 1 on 1 therapy sessions with a child and adolescent psycho-therapist in addition i would seek counseling with you and your daughter with the same counselor for 1 on 2 sessions.... in the mean time i would ignore her behavior by not responding... you want to her to know that negative behavior is not acceptable and this will cause her to realize that... If you absolutely can not ignore it, tell her that you will begin telling her friends how gross and disgusting she's being... she will not like this ... with approach u are to gain success regardless of how mean this seems...

Re:fascination with poop - 2007/11/02 22:21 Dear Parent, I just want to respectfully disagree with the parent who said to tell her friends. What ever is going on with your daughter is for your attention. She is not going to respond well by humiliation. I don't think that's ever an appropriet responce for dicipline. I would definatly try to get to the root of the problem by some alone time. You didn't give much background, is the daddy in the picture. If so I would recomend he do a date night and begin teaching her what a lady should act like by praising her and catching her doing something right, really make a big deal out of positive behavior because it sounds like thats what she needs is alot of attention. But ignore her completely when she is ill behaved. Even leave the room, all of you and leave her to herself. No comments, just silence. Hope this helps, and prayer always works for me and my 5 children. I'll remember you, don't give up, she will out grow it.
