By trying to remember that she's just being a kid, and the fact that I'm frustrated about that is my own shortcoming, not hers.

I have found children that are like this, are craving for someone to care about them. You could try finding him something he likes to do and give him a job doing . You could also talk about things you like and he likes and how when someone hurts an animal or what ever, its very hurtful to you. Maybe your friend could do the same. Children, Teens included, need love understanding and attention. Christmas is coming, maybe you and your friend could buy him some little thing, or even take him with you some place. I don't know this child, but I have 26 students in 5th. grade, so I have an idea of what is happening in his life.

God how I wish you could hear this radio ad here in St. Louis. It's the voice of a guy who sounds straight outta Brooklyn, and he claims to be able to solve any behavioral problem in your kids within minutes. He doesn't let on as to the secrets of his "program", but judging by his words, tone, and accent, I'd guess there's some duct tape and a Louisville Slugger involved somewhere.

At the end of a long frustrating day, I have a long hot bubble bath and, either cry out my frustrations or read until the water is cold. There is nothing like a teenager to make you feel like you are in a war zone.

I tell them stories about my childhood. When they stop shaking with fear I'll make them a cup of hot coco and send them to bed.
Actually these days my two boys are very polite and well behaved kids. Oddly they never want to travel with me when I have to go back to New Jersey on family business.

Depends on what you mean by driving you crazy. If you mean they want attention then thats what kids do- give it to them.
when my son was small he would "drive me krazy" however I found that if I gave him the POSITIVE attention he wanted he was less cranky etc. Sit and read a book do a puzzle- something on their age level and you would be suprized at how calm they are.
Kids just want to be with you- if you let them stress you they will feed off of that and push your buttons harder.
Just be patient, keep them busy, and they will "forget" to be the kid that drives you krazzeee.

I take a shot of whiskey..no, not really (it's vodka, no just kidding). I try to remember to breathe, and I take a break from the situation by either sending my kids to their rooms to read, or by going to my room for a few minutes. Kids are a blessing in disguise sometimes...they definately have taught me patience.

I go hide in my bedroom for a few minutes to collect my thoughts, and put on some soothing music. After I calm down for a minute I go out for round two!

Get them interested in a different activity. Is the only time they give me grief is when they get bored and or tired. Has worked well so far.

Tell her daddy to take over and I go outside for some peace and quiet time
