[QUOTE="PennyGirl, post: 417859, member: 11592"] I am glad I found this site today and I wonder if anyone can help me? I have a little girl who just turned 5. She is extremely difficult and prone to hour long screaming fits. She had colic as a baby and it seems like she never outgrew it! I just wonder if anyone could tell me if her behavior is typical of a 5 year old? I have 2 nieces and neither was anything like this BUT all kids are different so I just don't know... Here's some info about her: 1. Had severe Colic as a baby 2. Wore a plagiocephaly helmet for 4 months 3. Major major bedtime anxiety and will scream and cry and hit for about 2 hours before bedtime every night for 5 years. (now taking melatonin on advice from Pediatrician) 4. Has about 3 major screaming tantrums per day and cannot calm herself (I think this is is too many at her age and they are very extreme and long in duration) she'll trash her room, etc. In these moments, I really feel there is something more than just normal tantrums. Also, she is in preschool, so she'll have one boyfriend school, then after and then at bedtime. I give the tantrums no attention and praise for good behavior ~ the whole 9 5. Can't seem to control emotions at home but never a problem at preschool (this is always my sticking point, she's fine there, and won't stop screaming at home) 6. Extreme sensitivity to socks, cannot stand the "bumps" or lines in her socks and I don't even have her wear them now 7. I am doing the Total Transformation program with her and sometimes I feel like it's working but other times, not at all. I just feel like it gives me a little more of a road map 8. She's very bright, reading, creative, loving and gets along great with other children. I would love any advice as to what anyone thinks. My pediatrician thinks I am over-reacting, but she goes into hysterics daily and sometimes tries to pull at her skin and hair bc she is so upset. Are 5 year olds still having daily tantrums or does this sound like something more? I'm just so exhausted from all of this and willing to try anything to help her... [/QUOTE]
