Don't know what to do!

[winann]

I wonder if you could help me. My daughter since she was two has been getting in trouble for not listening, but when she gets in trouble it's like she's in her own world but doesn't care. I had schools pull me aside and tell me about how bad my daughter is. Now at 8 years old she's getting in trouble for running away at schools and daycares. She was found last week locked in a bathroom with another girl switching cloths, they thought they werer doing more then that. The teacher told me that she was a danger to others and herself, So they suspended her for a week. Then i went to my friends house tonight. My daughter and her daughter were locked in the bathroom. They were bothnaked kissing and peeing on each other, I 'm a single parent and i jusy don't know what to do anymore. do you know who could help me? or what would help?

When found in the bathroom with the girl was that child also suspended from school? Why is she considered a danger , what reason did the teacher give for saying it ? You say this has been happening since the child was 2 year old and getting into trouble for not listening ,can you enlarge ?

I'm not quite sure which issue you are asking for help on...

The not listening and running away certainly needs to be addressed. You may want to seek counseling...both for the family as a whole and for your daughter.

As for the incidents with your daughter and other girls...curiosity is normal and generally as long as the participants are of like age and not be coerced it is considered healthy. It is something you could discuss with a counselor if you are concerned.

I wonder why the teacher feels she is a danger to herself and others? Danger in what way? Your post did not indicate that she was violent toward others or forcing the other girls to do things...so have other things happened that you didn't mention?
