[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 600273, member: 1550"] Sounds like she should be evaluated. in my opinion more is going on than ADHD to cause those kinds of fits. Did she or does she have any delays or strange squirks? Does she know how to play with toys and can she be with her little peers without hurting them? Any unusual or obsessive interests, tics, throat clearing, screams for no reason? Does she repeat what she hears on television or what others say to her over a nd over again? Anything else odd? Is she sensitive to loud noise, certain fabrics, certain food textures, the way her socks feel on her feet? Does change bother her? The first step to getting help is this evaluation. I like neuropsychs. You can also take her to a university hospital for a comprehensive evaluation done by several different professionals. Both evaluations are time consuming but tell you more than any therapist can. Regular parenting methods don't work on our differently wired children. Did she have a cohesive, stable first three years? Any siblings? Father in the picture? Anything psychiatric on either side of her genetic family tree (even if dad has never seen her...she is half of his DNA, regardless of his presence or lack of it). The more you can tell us, the more we can give suggestions that may help you, but I think everyone will agree on the evaluation. Being babied or "spoiled" doesn't cause this type of behavior. Most loving parents spoil our young children very much, especially our first ones, and most don't act like that. It is not you. It is that she is differently wired in her brain. You're parenting is off the hook. [/QUOTE]
