[QUOTE="neednewtechnique, post: 40783, member: 3527"] I wish, as someone else did already too, that you were closer, and our children could play together! I have a 5.5 yo and she loves making new friends and she is extremely tolerant and accepting of other's needs and preferences, well, most others except her sisters!!!! It surprises me how much she can adapt her own agenda to fit those of the children she plays with, no matter how difficult it may be. She is DEFINITELY a difficult child-in-training though, I think she has a mood disorder of some kind, but I have been hesitating to get her started in the mental health system yet, simply because it already seems that it consumes so much of our life to go through it with one, that I can't imagine the stress to have two of them with all the medications to keep straight, appointments to get to, and etc. When I first came here, there were a few things that I always thought and found out that they were not the case. First thing was, I thought that our difficult child was on an awful lot of medication for her age, and I just KNEW there was something wrong with that picture.... however, since I have been here, I have seen the cocktail of medications that some of the others' children are taking, and I finally realized that she isn't alone! I also realized, through paying close attention to some things, that our difficult child probably IS improperly medicated, but it isn't because she is taking too much, it is because she is taking the wrong kind. The second thing was that I thought that my 5 yo easy child was too young to be exhibiting signs of such extreme disorders that young, and that maybe I was just not doing things right on the parenting spectrum...then I find out that she isn't alone either! Many parents here have younger children that are being treated and medicated for truly diagnosis'd disorders just as the older ones are, and that has been comforting to me. [/QUOTE]
