[QUOTE="cheraw1, post: 319365"] Thanks for your reply. No psychiatric issues in family that I am aware of other than depression. Nothing major. I take zoloft for anxiety and stress. No substance abuse. My husband flies off the handle pretty quickly and throws tantrums (he's much better now - has had to be as he notices that our daughter needs a calm environment). When she started pre-k we were getting daily calls from the school to calm her down. It's been a month since we got a call. So, she is doing better. It feels like we roll along pretty smoothly and then hit a bump. The bumps seem to be big enough to take notice. It's possible that she's too immature to be in pre-k. She minds us pretty well at home - so it does seem like I have read on this site about more extreme situations. She is really smart but like another child I read about - has no desire to sit with us to learn letters and numbers. She can count but doesn't seem to be able to pick out numbers. But she will tell me states and their capitals. She gets bored easily even in most conversations. She will sit still and watch a movie. She's an only child and is pretty good about staying occupied but she also spends a lot of time with me and my husband on the weekends. she has friends at school. A year ago she would complain that she hit the kids because they wouldn't leave her alone and got on her nerves. she seems better now but will hit if a kid bugs her - not every day but every couple of weeks.
