[QUOTE="mollymalone, post: 87461, member: 4212"] MidwestMom - In answer to your questions: 1/ No psychiatric problems in the family 2/ She makes good eye contact with people. She has no problem transitioning. No early interest in numbers or alphabets. She's just started taking an interest in writing her name - but she's 4, so that's normal I think. No major obsession that I can pinpoint. She can be a bit of a Jekyll & Hyde - nice one minute and extremely angry and aggressive the next. One thing she might not be good at is empathy for others. For example, the other day she was on the swing and accidentally kicked another child who was too close to her - he started bleeding, but she continued swinging away until the teacher stopped her. She doesn't show much empathy in these situations when someone is hurt. But is this normal for a 4 yr old? I don't live in the US. We're from the UK, but we live in the Caribbean at the moment. What do you think? I did think ODD, but she doesn't display all of the symptons regularly. I am of course hoping that she doesn't have a problem, and that she may just be borderline. Am I in denial? Anyway, I hope people can relate to me..... [/QUOTE]
