There comes a point in your life when you realize:Who matters,Who never did,Who won't anymore...And who always will..
So, don't worry about people from your past,there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.

this is going to sound very contriversale, but i will say it any way and i mean on offence to anyone by it, it has worked for my son.
have you tried stealing something very presious from your daughter, then when she she is very upset and angrey talk about how she is feeling, how sad she is and how angrey she is with family members. Then explain that is how you feel when your things are taken and how you felt equally unhappy when your chocolate went missing. She might then have a better understanding of how unhappy you are. Im not saying to do this several times i feel if it was to work it should on the first time. My son simply did not understand how it felt and as he cannot understand other peoples emotions it helped him to reconize how stealing upset everyone. the main thing is to stay calm and in control throughout, which i know is hard.

Well we stood our ground today and she never went to grans and not had any treats and each time she missed out we explained why so it was crystal clear.
Lucy went to her nans with Euan and Alfie and me and Emily stayed home and i made her help me with household chores all afternoon and also discovered another hoarde of sweet wrappers and a big choccie bar she had hidden for a later date.
I tried talking with her about it and asked if everything was ok at school etc but she seems to think everything is ok no bullying etc.
On a good note Lucy called Emilys behaviour doctor today and they have got us an appointment for Tuesday which was good of them to get us in so quick.
We also called Cahms and they had discharged us as they said we never confirmed we wanted there help even though we sent off the form...........
So so frustrated by it as it just seems to have no real reason........

thats good news that you got an appointment quickly, not had much luck with cahms personally so hope u get better luck. didnt think they could discharge you without informing you though.
julie's idea seems a different approach if emily would understand that, just a matter of finding something she would care about being gone.

This is a problem because Emily has never since birth really been intrested in one possesion for longer than 5 minutes,i could walk into her bedroom and take something and she wouldnt even notice unless i tolder her
So kind of stuck there?
