[QUOTE="alicoles2, post: 601871, member: 16620"] I just found this site - did you have any luck with the suggestions from this thread? I have a similar situation. It's funny you mentioned the sock thing - my almost 5 year old complains of the same stuff. I just bought some seamless socks at Nordstrom and they are the only socks that don't seem to bother her. She has never been a great sleeper and she is very bright and funny and sweet...and then there is another side to her. Her screaming fits make me want to shove a fork in my eyeball. They put me and my husnamd on edge and my poor 3 year old gets woken up when she does this. I have tried taking things away (ex. gymnastics at camp tomorrow got taken away even though I already paid for it), spanking just escalates things and makes it worse and ignoring works but only after about 30 minutes. In the meantime, the 3 year old is crying and my husband and I are both drained. The melatonin gave her night terrors. I took her to a psychologist and it didn't seem to help and the neurologist just says she will most likely be diagnosed with ADHD (I was diagnosed with it this past year so I am not suprised). I am in therapy just to figure this parenting thing out. It is the hardest job I have ever had. Sorry for the long-winded post. Just curious to know if you had any luck with the suggestions. Did you try occupational therapy? My pediatrician recommeded it but I haven't done it yet. Maybe that is a good step to take. Oh, and my daughter is perfect at school. things are much better than they used to be but tonight she kicked it old school style and screamed in her room for an hour. I had to walk away. Any suggestions or help would be most appreciated! [/QUOTE]
