[Rot 911]

My 7 year old is out of control with everyone but me. She has no respect for her mother, teachers, kids in class, almost everyone. She can be the most loving little girl when she wants to be, but seems to really enjoy getting a rise out of everyone else. I know she knows how to behave properly because she always does what I want her to do. She knows I mean business and will back it up with punishment if I need to. Unfortunately she also knows if I am not around there will be no immediate punishment. I am at my wit's end here. I have yet to find a punishment or reward that means enough to her to make her stop this behavior. I have tried no televison for a week, not toys, manual labor, spanking, damn near everything. None of this has had much effect. She has real control issues and wants to always be in charge. Someone suggested the "love and logic" approach. Anyone have it work.

Again, when she is with me she is great. Apparently she respects/is afraid of me enough to keep herself under control. We have lots of fun together with no problems. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
