You've gotten some great advice from others. I just wanted to let you know that some children act that way even if they were taught how to do things. My husband and I have had our daughter since she left the hospital at 2 months. We have raised three great boys-two in college, one in 8th grade.I'm a RN with years of pediatric and child psychiatric experiance. We had been foster parents for years. If I were to get my 5 year old daughter now---I would have said she had to have come from the most chaotic,unstructured,abusive home with no rules,boundries etc. She is defiant,delayed,aggressive,hyper etc.. We love her to bits but boy has she shown us a thing or two. Her manners are awful,her mouth is awful. Drs have labeled her everything from possible FAS to bi-polar. She has always had love, attention,routine,calm parents,as much consistency as possible etc. Her birth mom is alot like our little girl as is some of her birth siblings. Who knows why. The good part is: we love her and in between her behaviers is a loving ,happy little girl. Tralyn
