Does anybody know of a psychiatrist/child psychologist here in Quezon City, Phil.? We really can't afford it because my salary is below minimum wage, but i feel we both need a counseling / therapy ASAP. Your recommendations / referrals for a charitable person or institution shall be highly appreciated. We probably can't get it for free so i hope I can find an affordable service. Thank you so much.

Go to your library and get some parenting books. I reccomend: Raising your Spirited Child, Love and Logic, Children the Challenge. I have a 6 yr old daughter who was that way and working with her w tips from these books has changed both her and I emmensly. We have a much better relationship now

Has your daughter always been difficult? If so, then this just might be her personality. If this is something new, then you need to talk to her, find out if there's something going on that's caused her to change.
Super Nanny is actually a good source. She deals with some pretty outlandish kids and her techniques do work. Consistency is the key though so any path you take, you'll need to stick with it.
Spanking is not a horrible thing though. If you can remain controlled and not spank in anger, then I see nothing wrong with it. I was spanked as a kid and I 100% believe our society's gone downward because kids are treated with too light a touch these days. They don't have that respect and fear of authority that I grew up with. By fear, I mean the fear of getting into trouble, I feared the consequence. Kids today don't share that fear.
It's like telling a parent to reason with a 2 year old. It's a 2 year old, people. The old reason should be, because I said so...period.

I'm not sure which book to recommend since you didn't give specifics but here are a few WONDERFUL books! These are from well-known and highly respected Dr's'. not some flake who just came out with "the newest thing of parenting"
Good luck!

Also-call your local Partnership for children and/or childrens resource center. possibly social services, (they have free parenting classes, behavior specialist) Here in NC they have free help. Hopefully they do in your state, too. start making some calls & tell them the situation. They will direct you to the right person. they have behavoir specialist that even does home visits. Best of luck to you!

Have you tried to listen to your daughter? asking her what is bothering her? Maybe you need to level with her and let her know how her behavior makes you feel. Sometimes as adults we don't listen to our children and they are people too. If that doesn't work they are many websites that you can go and maybe get some feed back from other parents. why don't you try Cafe mom>? maybe that one will work for you! Good Luck!!!!

you can start with therapist. and you can ask your primary doctor. sometimes he can stear you the right way and tell him about money. you can get something from social security sometimes if your wages is too low. call the office and ask and they can send you to various charities. call your church also or churches around there where you are.
