[QUOTE="threebabygirls, post: 179841, member: 5670"] 1. Her early development was fine. She was "clingier" than my oldest, but made all her milestones when she should have. She has a problem with clothes; it presented itself not too long ago. She cannot stand "restrictive" things like jeans, or other pants with a zipper and button. She doesn't like loud noises, which is ironic because she is a frequent yeller. As far as school goes, she had two years of preschool with a little separation anxiety, but not bad and it wasn't long-lived. Kindergarten went better than I expected. She had a little difficulty with letter recognition (only with 3 or 4 letters), and when I really cracked down on it, she improved. Her teacher's main concerns were her difficulty in keeping her things organized (she'd misplace a thing or two) and her lack of following instructions (her teacher would hand out a paper and before she could tell them what to do, difficult child would have started instead of waiting for instructions). 2. the only psychiatric problems in the family tree are depression and occasional anxiety. One of my nieces (age 7) was recently diagnosed as ADHD, but we're not sure that is her problem. Only substance abuse is a paternal grandfather (whom she has never met) who is alcoholic. 3. Considering I am not sure what a neuropsychologist evaluation is, I'd guess not. The only thing so far her therapist has suggested is trying to diffuse her stress before it explodes. Sometimes I'm successful, oftentimes I'm not. her triggers are hard to pinpoint because some days something will set her off, and others she won't even bat an eye. Searching my memory, the only thing that consistently sets her off is restrictive clothing. I'll have to get The Explosive Child at the library; thanks for recommending it. [/QUOTE]
