[QUOTE="1234567, post: 170265"] Thank you for all the words of advice. I guess what I don't get is.......the differentiation from a regular three year old and a difficult child. My daughter is certainly not easy. She never has been. She requires tons more attention than most kids her age. However, when you PROVIDE that attention for her, she takes it and thrives and is a joy. She is really the worst when she's tired. You know how lots of kids will just get whiny and sleepy and then fall asleep wherever? Well, we honestly plan to not be out past 7:00 cause it is HELL on everyone. She whines, she cries, she throws fits. When we are home, she takes her bath and is in bed by 7 and all is well. Others think we let our child rule our life, and talk about how they took their kids everywhere, but we just can't do that and we HAVE to abide by a schedule. She's not violent. Well, she has occasionally hit her older sister (15) and tried to hit me, but she's not hitting to hurt, if that makes any sense. She'll just swat. She has pinched her sister before, but I could count the number of times on my fingers. If I didn't know her, I would probably just classify her as bratty. That sounds horrible and I love her SOOO much, but she can just be bratty at times. I guess I don't know where bratty leaves off and something else kicks in. [/QUOTE]
