I have two daughters ages 7 and 5. My youngest daughter has had a lot of medical problems growing up and still has a severe speech problem(she talks at about the lvl of an 2 year old). Other than the speech problem my 5 year old Gracie is a very intellegent little girl for her age and can do things he older sister can't do but she is beyond defiant. I know the problem can't be jealosy or lack of attention, she has recieved so much attention because of her medical problems alone, not to mention that she is being raised in a very loving home. She is now to the point that she will even hit her mother, she doesn't listen, and she doesn't care when she is punished. Nothing works, I've tried everything I even went as far as embarrasing her in front of her friends from school. Sometimes she can be a very loving girl but when she decides she wants to act up there is no punishment, or conseqeunce that will deter her. She even came close to killing the family cat. Is a psychiatrist a good idea
