My oldest (dd 13) is bipolar and has serious impulse control and runs me ragged. I'm so tired and fed up with the constant poor behavior that I'm wondering if a premade reasonably simple behavior chart would help. I want to say that I don't normally go in for this kind of control or discipline but she requires way more supervision and direction than most teens probably do. She has no limits or good sense and I have to search her room several times a week (which is insulting to both of us). I want her to have freedom and privs but she cannot sustain acceptable behavior for long enough to get any most of the time which adds to her depression and which I would like to see change. Has anyone seen a respectfully written behavior contract or chart so that her actions would be more visible to her as the guiding force of her freedoms.
