[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 416717, member: 6546"] Hello and welcome-- Your little girl sounds soooo much like my daughter at that age. If I knew then what i know now? I would have done the following: First, seek out a thorough exam at a children's hospital with a pediatric neuropychiatrist. Second, I would try and head-off the power struggle which lasted for many years in my home. My child always seemed so...I don't know....just not happy, not loving, not playful, not laughy-giggly. I reasoned that she was not cooperative because somehow she was expressing her feelings. I tried in VAIN to please her...would go out of my way to do something special or nice - to try and "love" these behaviors out of her. And the more loving, more caring, more "things" I tried to do for her - the more she would act out. And round and round we would go. And now, years later - I have discovered that she is far more responsive if I do NOT try and please her. It makes me wonder how things might have gone differently if i wasn't trying so hard to make her happy? --sigh-- But I digress....start with the neuropsychologist - see if you can find out what's going on with your little girl.
