[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 653979, member: 1631"] Welcome! Your description of your daughter reminds me so much of my son when he was that age. He had no fear and we had to watch him like a hawk (for many years). Your daughter actually sleeps a lot more than my son ever did. I agree with somewhere about getting a neuropsychologist exam. I would also have her see a psychiatrist so you can get a couple of different points of view. The school will give you some guidance and hopefully an IEP. They cannot diagnose your child (even with ADHD), however, they can be good partners in writing notes for the neuropsychologist and psychiatrist about what they see at school. Combine that with what you see at home and it will be very helpful. Of course, that is if you trust your school and teachers. I understand your point of exhaustion. I have been there done that. Please know that it is very important to take care of yourself and to be gentle with yourself. I know that is easier said than than done. Maybe your husband can watch her while you read, take a walk, exercise, or even just relax in a bubble bath. My husband and I used to tag team a lot to give each other breaks. It would be good if your husband could get on the same page as you instead of making you feel guilty. You will find much support here. Sending some gentle hugs your way! Hugs, Sharon [/QUOTE]
