I have a 4 yr old girl who doesn't listen to me. if I take her out shopping she takes off, talks to anyone and everyone. She won't come back to me and pretends that she is lost. ie, she will go around the corner from where I am and tell whoever is there if they have seen her mum becuase she can't find me, I am standing like 3 metres from her. At home, she does stuff regardless of what I tell her, I have tried the 'naughty corner', a merit system, sending her to her room, taking things away from her, smaking, and nothing works, she just doesn't care. I am at an absolute loss. On the other hand, it is a completely different matter when her Dad is around. She does everything he says. What can I do. I am at the point that I don't want to take her anywhere in case someone snatches her or something, but I can't leave her home by herself. I would leave her with her Dad, but he works long hours and isn't home when I need to go out. Please help. Kelly
