Good Monday Morning. Question from a reader to start us off for the week. Just send a private message to the page if you have a question too. I have a 10 year old FD who had to be momma to her younger brother for years as she was the only constant in his life as they traveled from home to home in and out of Foster care since she was 2. Now her and her brother are split up because she wanted it that way. They are both doing better apart. My FD is an amazing child, straight As in school, very mature, and she can be a big help. But she is very bossy to our younger lower functioning FD. She constantly tries to control her, tell on her to get her in trouble for the littlest things, and boss her around. I feel like Ive tried everything to get her to stop, rewards for not doing it (but she never got a reward because she never stops doing it), sent to time out for doing it, we even sent the other Foster child to respite for a weekend to spend extra time with the one who is being bossy. We had her first and were probably going to be adopting her so we wanted to spend some quality time with her to help her feel more apart of the family. Im at a loss and wanted some input from other Foster parents who may have seen this behavior before. Thanks in advance for any advise!
