[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 671550, member: 18958"] Hi I am glad you are here and understand how hard and frightening this must be. I agree with the other responses: take your daughter to a Children's Hospital in a metropolitan area if possible. I would see a child neurologist, a neuropsychologist and a psychiatrist. I did this for my own child. I agree with Insane's point about rewards. The behavior diary is a great idea. Maybe a food and sleep diary would help too. The more information you have the better. It will help you too to get some distance. Try as much as you can to be an observer and try not to take it personally. I know how hard it is to do. You need to remember that nothing about this is your fault. Besides that, try right now to just focus on getting her to experts. Many professionals might think that she is too young to diagnose bipolar disorder, so I would keep my mind open right now. When she does get a diagnosis, depending upon what it is, you can try and get her to a school that can help her and you, with an IEP. My son went to such a school from 6th grade on. The other thing to think about is diet. There are food additives that can have powerful negative effects. Children can be very sensitive to environmental factors. More than we are. Any chance she is having small seizures? My son at her age began to have seizures. They are not necessarily easily noticeable. There could be something happening to her internally that she cannot understand or communicate to you. Do you know well the people who care for her and with whom she interacts? Is there some influence to which she may be reacting? Keep posting. Many of us have been through this or something similar. You are doing it. You are a good Mom, trying to find solutions and to help your daughter and doing it alone, in a hard, hard situation. There are answers. We just have to find them. COPA [/QUOTE]
