[QUOTE="BoogiesMama, post: 507093"] [I]I know that it's hard to listen to people tell you it's your fault and you feel guilty, but don't do that! My son started showing signs of something not quite right at about 1 1/2, at age 2 he was diagnosed with ADHD and ODD and still now at age 4 he is a work in progress as far as trying to put the whole puzzle together with what is going on with him, this past week they added anxiety to his list of issues. I had so many family members on his dad's side telling me he was fine, it was just terrible twos, etc. I did not agree that cutting dogs ears with scissors, punching cats in the face, etc. was normal 2 year old behavior and continued to pursue help for my son. He did many of the things you described your daughter is doing and then some. We dealt with poop smearing, hitting, etc. Only difference was my son wanted to be held constantly. We had playpen, swing, bouncy seat and they all were a waste of money. Even his highchair was an issue most days and sometimes we just had to feed him sitting on one of our laps. Don't let guilt take over your days, trust me it's a waste of energy. Be proud of yourself that you are recognizing there is something not quite right and you are doing something about it. A lot of parents like to live in denial and do nothing. The younger you get some help the better! It doesn't just help your daughter, it helps you and that is just as important. We had many days we loved our son, but really didn't like him, didn't like being around him but due to his extreme seperation anxiety we couldn't and still don't get much time away from him.
