[QUOTE="SRL, post: 443477, member: 701"] HI littlecritters, welcome to our forum. What you're describing is definitely causing functioning problems for her and family, and has been a pattern from birth so I agree that an evaluation is in order. I would try and schedule the most thorough evaluation you can with the most reputable specialists in your area. Ask around for a developmental pediatrician or pediatric neuropsychologist for the main evaluation and at this age and stage speech/language and Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluations are a really good idea. The more info you can get via assessments, the more info you will have on how to handle specific situations such as the syrup incident. Personally I would get a private evaluation done on her if you have insurance, but school district evaluations as a secondary source can yield some helpful info. In the mean time, I would lay low on everything not safety-related--read the thread at the top of this board about adapting The Explosive Child by Ross Greene for younger children. Also while you're waiting, What Your Explosive Child Is Trying to Tell You: Discovering the Pathway from Symptoms to Solutions by Dr. Douglas Riley would be good reading for you. You also may want to read up on Sensory Processing Disorder--sometimes that is one of the various issues going on when little ones are difficult from infancy. Outside of the raging, what else are you seeing? How is her speech--any delays, advanced or different sounding speech? Cognitive/academic type abilities? Are interests typical of a typical 3-4 year old girl? Is she lining up toys or any other household objects? What's the family mental health history like? Hang in there--we know how stressful this is on Mom. Hopefully we can get you pointed in the direction of getting some help. [/QUOTE]
