Hey Mar22, I have a 9 yr old daughter with adhd and her six year old sister is starting to act like her as well. My 6 yr old is not adhd but thinks its ok to act like this since she sees her sister doing it all of the time. I'm in the same boat as you, I really don't know what to do. I explain to my younger child that I will not put up with this behavior from her and that I expect more from her. Isn't that funny, that I expect more from the younger child. Both of my kids spend a lot of time in time out or losing priveleges due to their behavior. I have decided to get my oldest daughter some counseling. It can't hurt and hopefully they can get through to her where I can't. Good luck! ↑
