[QUOTE="kmb2004, post: 309127, member: 8039"] She has above average intelligence, she was later to talk (around 2 years) but is now very articulate for her age. She is in French Immersion, Senior kindergarden, and is excelling in both english and french. With other kids she is incredibly bossy, not even a leader, just bossy. A lot of "you go here and do this" and she has a meltdown if someone won't. I will say alot of the time kids will listen to her though because of the age. It's hard to say if her interests are typical of kids her age, she likes barbies and dolls, but will rarely play with them if there isn't anyone to play with her at the moment. She isn't a picky eater but will often use food as a control tactic, not eating just because she has to... When she was younger she would throw it on the ground, say it was dirty then whine she was hungry. She often argues over going to bed at night, and it took a long time to keep her there, but she still requires a full night sleep, going to bed at 730 to wake up at 7 am for school. ANd finally, I'm from Northern Ontario, Canada. We do work differently here. The pediatrician has to refer you to someone, like a psychiatrist making sure that its not just normal stuff. We had to see her for a year and give her updates on behaviours. It's the way our system works. [/QUOTE]
