[QUOTE="SmartGrl001, post: 202241, member: 6087"] Oh by the way, I never force her to eat if she doesn't want to. Especially if things seem ucky to her, because quite frankly, I know it doesn't work with her, and I don't want to be cleaning up vomit at dinner time. :raspberry-tounge: Anyhow, as stated before I have an appointment with her pediatrician on november 4th, but I also decided to call around here and I found a psychiatrist (or psychologist...can't remember) that is going to also see her...probalby next week. I know this is just a start, and we may need many more evaluations, but my quest at this point is to be comfortable with a diagnosis and direction as to how to deal with her before she starts kindergarten in 2 years. Then I can talk to the school and get an IEP set up for her, and at least the teachers won't think she is simply a spoiled brat who was never disciplined. I already know that most of the things I have tried with discipline do not work, and apparently trying to just communicate with her doesn't always seem to work. She understands what I am saying, but doesn't follow through with actions or words. But hopefully we'll start getting somewhere. Crazy...she is my first.
