Annette thanks to allergies got back to the bad habit of digging in her nose. She has had 3 nose bleeds in the past two weeks. The bullying has begun as a result and she will not listen to me. I tried every approach and she defies me every step of the way yet does come to me for comfort. She is her own worse enemy and I do not know what to do except back to counseling to see if it helps. Annette told me she has to do something with her hands is part of the problem so I am having her where one of those silly bands to play with. Any ideas besides cutting her fingers off?
Her close friend I heard did have a talk with her regarding the behavior and it was sweet. She told Nette she cares about her and likes her and wants her to stop. The girl has been trying to bridge friendships with Nette and he other friends she does seem to understand my girl. Could this girl get any better. I swear when we take her with us she keeps Nette in line and they have fun even though we have to pay for everything it is worth it.

Oh boy, I don't know what you can do for that but giving her something to do with her hands was a good idea. I'd make sure she has plenty of tissues with her. I don't know what else you can do besides stressing how this is a private thing that needs to be done in the bathroom at school and not in front of others, which I know you have done.
I do know winter and dry weather doesn't help nose bleeds. Maybe running a humidifier at home, if you don't already, would help her.
I think it is neat she has a friend that is trying to help her. I really think if anyone can get her to stop, it may be the freind.

Sounds like she found an awesome friend! My nose gets super dry this time of year too. What I've found that helps is coating the inside of my nostrils with vaseline before bed. Then its not so dry & uncomfortable the next day. If she'll abide by it, you might give it a try. It can't hurt anyway.

I have called her allergist to get a doctors note so she can carry saline solution for the dryness. As for the hand thing the school is allowing he to wear the forbidden silly bandz but only 1-2 so she can play with them on her wrist. The problem is not completely gone still a working progress. Her favorite Aunt is picking her up on Sunday for the day to do girly things and during that time will have a talk with her. Thanks for the support it is so hard to see progress going south and I can't save her from herself.

I think the spending the day with her favorite Aunt is a great idea. Sometimes our kids get sick of us telling them something over and over again. Maybe with her hearing it from someone other than you, will do the trick.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Hi Everbody,
I just recently joined the forum. I agree with bugsmom. Sometimes the constant reminder from parents are often ignored because they know we're just there with them always.
Best,
Judy

I have noticed the behavior has gotten better. As for her day with her Aunt she came home with a new dress and accessories. I also got it set up so she can use the saline solution as needed.
