[QUOTE="stephanie1228, post: 608170, member: 16971"] After posting, I came across a summary of the explosive child, and let me say this fits her. Wow! She is easily frustrated, and almost always angry. We never know what her mood will be or how she will re-act to any given situation. As an infant she cried a lot, and I mean in the evenings she would just scream, it didn't seem to matter what we did, nothing helped. She's always been very clingy to me. I am a stay at home mom and have been with the other two kids also. I noticed compared to my other two children, she just didn't smile a lot. I have very few pictures with her smiling.

For example, 2 of the children I was watching (ages 2,and 3) would constantly put things in their mouths. My daughter then began putting everything in her mouth! Even though she hadn't since she was very little. She gets angry about not getting her way, then throws fits, yells, blames me for everything, sometimes throws things at me.
