today her sister told her on the way back from school she could not go in her room with her friend when they got home so my daughter ran across a main road 2 the other side luckily there were no cars at this point I then had to talk my other daughter into "telling her what she wants to hear" till we get her home safely I then coaxed her and directed her to cross back over the road safely 5 mins later her youger brother upset her again she then proceeed to run straight out into the road and infront of a car wich luckily for her stopped in time. She just stood there infront of the car staring at me while i was screaming at her my heart pounding so fast i couldn`t breath I finally got her home she was sent to her room grounded for a week so she misses out on her special day out. Later I had to take her to brownies across this same road going there was fine but coming home she wanted to go to the shop but i didn`t have any money on me she then began to start throwing a tantrum I was so scared she would do it again that i grabbed her arm and dragged her kicking and screaming all the way home. I have to cross this road twice every day to take her to school but i`m so scared as its not the first time shes done it she used to do it all the time but we fort shed grown out of it and she has done it on different roads everytime she doesn`t get her own way but we have never given into her we just tell her what she wants to hear until she is safely away from the road and than take her home and punish her what can I do????

Talk to your pediatrician. This is what they are there for. He or she should listen, and give advice on what to do. They may recommend a psychologist etc for a short time. but I waould atart with them if nothing is woring.

you have a problem by: Dave
Well I will try first of all how many times Has she done this if I reed correctly its only been three times. What ever you do it has to be firm and hard.Before I tell you should take her over your knee but first you should try a few other things. First if this happen again try the following unstill further notice when you leave the house for any reason you take her by the hand to and from the car or place were you are going this is not a option you need to get back control. she cannot get out of the car until you are at her door and ready to take her hand and this is done until you are confindent that she will not be running into the street or she ask's to walk by herself. You should not be lieing to her its not a good thing you do not want her lying to you do you? by tell her what she wants to here just so she will come home that may backfire one day by her not getting her way and her running back into the street. Have you ever thought she's doing this for attention. Try not paying attention to her when she does this if this fails then you get into the spanking. You tell her if this continuse the next time she will be spanked and spanked hard. so if she does it again. You take her by the hand and you ask her do you remember what I told you what would happen if you walked in the middle of the street. She might remember or not if she does not you remind her. That you said if she walked in the middle of the street you would spank her her so thats what you do. You put over you knee and give her about twenty to fourty spanks you might think this is abit harsh and maybe to much its not do you want to be visiting her in the hospital or at the grave site no! right so spank hard and firmly. After the spanking you tell her if this happens agian this is whats going to happen (you do this while telling her) You will pull down her pants and underwear put her over your knee and spank her bare bottom until its black and blue.Yes this is a harsh punishment but what she is doing is very dangerous and you want it to stop right away before its to late. let me know what you think. go luck
