Baby Monitors or Cameras in the home for behavioral children?

I have an older model of these we used.

Wow...you got your hands full with that one! Our daughters do a lot of the "as soon as your back is turned they cut up" stuff, but nothing to the level you describe. The first couple of months though, they were soooo much work. You must be very tired. Ours had some mild attachment stuff, but for the most part want to please us, If you haven't already, Id read Nancy Thomas's stuff. Even if you don't like her style, she really knows kids with RAD and has a lot of success stories. For me, I would shut her door. and have an alarm on it. Safety first. If she wants it opened at night, she has to earn it by staying in bed, not roaming the house. But maybe there are rules against that if she is still in foster care. I cannot imagine the mischief mine could do if out of bed unsupervised. I don't even want to think about it! You are doing some hard hard work. It will pay off one day. Good luck to you!

Oh, and obviously...this child need a good, trained RAD therapist..... hope you have one, if not, please find one! It will help you as much as her.

I ordered two of these so far, one for the kitchen and one for the livingroom. I am hoping it works out for us. We'll try to get them hooked up this weekend. If they don't work then I'll look at the system you posted. What I like about these is that we can log in from our phones too.

We added a baby gate as suggested. It's one that my husband had to put hardware on the door frames to attach. It latches and swings open. I'm counting my blessings that her motor skills are so low as she cannot undo the latch. :banana: Not yet. It should save us some time until we get the nanny cams installed this weekend. Last night was her second night with it, and so far we've had two nights in a row that she stayed in her room. She did go to the gate hollering and crying the first night, but ended up back in her bed. So that was good. Last night when we tucked her in she told my husband that she could break the gate and climb over it, and that she WOULD get out. She didn't though, so we'll see. She's already set in her mind that she resents the gate and will conquer it though, obviously, so it's just a matter of time. This child never has the thought of doing as told, minding, complying or being pleasing. We are just inconveniences to her and what she wants. *sigh* We just throw obstacles at her and get in her way. I keep hoping that ONE day something will click and ONE day will arrive when she wants to comply. This little one's motor skills on some things are way, way behind, and that maybe our saving grace. She cannot turn the door knob on the front door. It's too stiff for her. When she succeeds at that we'll have to add one of those knob covers I think. She isn't there yet though. She, after working with her for 14 months now, is just now able to buckle her own seat belt. (Yes, she will be 6 in about 4 months). In the past month or two she has learned to open the car door for herself to get in and out. For a long time that was beyond her, and she still struggles with seat belts if she rides in an unfamiliar car. She cannot yet pedal a bicycle. She still uses her feet like a toddler would to move about. There are times she still struggles with dressing herself. When she came to us 14 months ago she couldn't even put her own underwear on successfully. Now she can handle anything that doesn't have snaps or buttons. She still cannot do those. So, the baby lock on the fridge and hopefully the latch on the baby gate will be some time in coming for her, so we do have that blessing. I just never thought we'd need to put these measures in place for a child of this age. We also added a soft-sided bed rail on her daybed. That makes it a little more crib like. I thought it might be a physical reminder to stay in bed. She can go around it quite easily, and does, but I thought it might help to have that visual reminder, and maybe an added feeling of safety and security for her. It can't hurt. And since she has fallen out of bed once, face down onto the hardwood floor bloodying her nose, it isn't a bad idea anyway. We'll just keep trying and keep putting measures in place until we get her all wrapped up in safety and security all the way around, in her physical environment as well as what we give emotionally. Hopefully she'll come to accept it in time. The adoption should happen in the next few months, and the therapist believes having permanency will also help. She's been tossed around so much that she often gets very confused in her head. She'll wake up thinking that she's going to go to this person or that person. We keep telling her she's staying here always, but she doesn't understand the concept. We don't have a RAD specialist yet. I'm waiting to get her on my insurance as the division doesn't want to refer her or "label" her. I understand that somewhat, but it doesn't make our lives any easier. I'm half dreading pre-kindergarten testing. I think that will be this month or next. I expect she's going to need an IEP. We've had her in preschool since she came to us, but she's still very behind. She has problems with retaining. She can know something for one day, the day it's taught and all the worksheets happen, but the information is gone the next day. It's like her brain wipes the slate clean. In 14 months we've successfully taught her to write her name. I guess that's good progress, but given that it's taken so long to get to that I'm not sure how kindergarten will go. Her name has only two letters in it, and she still has difficulty recognizing one of those letters if it's written anywhere EXCEPT in her name. With her delays and all the behaviors she is probably the most challenging child I've ever met. She's quite a puzzle. Hopefully if you all can keep me advised to make her physical environment have all the parameters it should we can move back to motor skills and learning.

Our therapist has a specialist she plans to line us up with as soon as I get her on my insurance, so I think by fall we will get all of those needed evaluations and specialists in place.

You set them up then download the d-link application on your smart phone. It can even take pictures when someone gets up, etc. I keep it on the application on my phone at night so if I ever wonder if I hear something I just look on the phone :) As you see I have 8 kiddos in the home and one has history of intense fire setting
