Is there a boot camp that will take My 7 year old daughter
My 7 year old daughter steals, lies, hurts her brothers and sister and just does not listen to anything you have to say. We have tryed to work with her but it does not seem to help with anything that we do. She will laugh at you when you are trying to tell her to do something. We dont want to give up on her but we dont know of anything else that we can do. She will also hurt aminals and she dont think twice about it. I'm trying to find a boot camp that maybe can help with her. Because we have tryed everything with her and it dont seem to work at all. We love our child and just want the best for her we cant trust her if you turn your back she will steal from you if we take her somewhere she will steal from there. I cant take her to the store she will steal from there and laugh about it. Is there anyone that can help try to anwer my Question. Is there a boot camp that will take a 7 year old???
SHE DOES NOT NEED A BOOT CAMP she needs a psychiatrist. hurting animals stealing etc. She has too many problems for any bootcamp too help. one would have to recognize right from wrong, and I don't think she would know the difference!

i have taken her to see one and they say there is nothing wrong with her that she is just a child. No one is wanting to help me anwer what is wrong with her.?
take her to a better shrink. it sounds like she just behaved herself when meeting with the other one. it will take awhile for her to feel comfortable enough around one to act like herself. there may also be a therapist in the area who has an observation room where the shrink sits on the other side of a two-way mirror and observes the way the child interacts with the parent.
to me it sounds like she has a lack of discipline in her life. what do you do when she misbehaves? is it the same thing every time? do you stick with long-term punishments, like grounding?
for the simple fact she wilingly hurts animals is a clear sign she has a "mental ilness" most classic serial killers ex jeffery dahmer(sp?) started out this way. not to say she will become one.
find her more help you must be your childs advocate! you cannot stop until she gets the help she needs. in the meantime don't get pets and very closley supervise your child when around other children. leave her home when you go shopping to avoid her stealing.

Then get a second opinion, a third opinion, then a fourth.
You're her parent, you have to make sure she gets the help she needs.
Boot camp for a 7 year old, I don't think so.
Something is going on with this child and it needs to be addressed.

I can't believe any therapist/counselor/psychiatrist would say its normal for a 7yr old to hurt animals and steal from anyone and stores. You definitely need to take her to a different one then!
It is ridiculous to suggest that this child does not have serious mental health issues. It is also ridiculous for you to suggest that boot camp for a 7 year old is appropriate.
You say you have tried everything. What exactly have you tried. If the psychiatrist is saying there is nothing wrong with her, perhaps he is thinking that there are severe problems within the family that have to be addressed, and that is what is causing her behaviour. How long ago did she see the psychiatrist?
Something traumatic has happened for her to abuse animals. It is NOT normal behaviour for a 7 year old, and is a big red flag.
I don't understand how you go from 'trying everything' to help her, to boot camp. There is a huge gap there.
You don't have the luxury of passing this problem on, it is your obligation as a parent to deal with it.
If you don't get a grip on this now, you will likely not only experience more heartache, but she will not get the help she needs, and delaying that, will affect her development.
