[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 242697, member: 6546"] Hello and Welcome-- You are NOT a failure. Let me repeat that... You are NOT a failure. It's easy to feel like one, though. Especially when you are trying so hard just to do something simple with your child...I remember the battles I had trying to get my daughter prepared to go to kindergarten. The tantrums! The screaming! The protests over the simplest, silliest, non-sensical, non-issues. I cried myself to sleep many a night. Believe it or not--you are already further ahead than I was at that stage. My pediatrician kept insisting that the problems I was having with my daughter were MY fault...and that I needed better parenting skills. It wasn't until she was enrolled at public school that I got a whole team of adults (teachers, social workers and school counselors) that noticed that something was not quite right with difficult child and who were willing to help her negotiate some of her social and anger issues. It was their input that finally got my pediatrician to admit that perhaps my daughter DID need some sort of testing. Please know that you are not alone....many of us are travelling this road with you...and though we may not have the magic answers ourselves--we are always here to lend our support and and ear if you need it. Best wishes, --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
