[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 542109, member: 1550"] Hi there and welcome to the board, although I'm sorry you have to be here. I have no idea what is wrong with your daughter. I wish I could offer solid advice. She is different from most of the kids I've read about and known. Can you try to get your doctor to refer her to a neuropsychologist? I like them...they do intensive testing in all areas of function. CERTAINLY her early losses aer a factor. When young ones lose important people, it DOES affect them. She has been through two fathers already and she may not remember, but her subconscious does. Maybe that's why she clings to you. I am not sure your daughter understands cause and effect if she doesn't know why she is put into a time out. She will certainly require certain interventions and a different parenting style. I have a few questions that could help us help you, which is what we'd like to do: 1/How was her very early development/your pregnancy/your delivery/her health as an infant? 2/Did she hit her milestones on time? Can she make good eye contact with you and strangers? Does she like to cuddle? Does she play appropriately with her toys and not just dismantle them or line them up? Or ignore them. 3/Are there ANY psychiatric or neurological problems (such as autism, bipolar, schizophrenia, etc) on either side of her genetic family tree, even if she never saw the afflicted relatives? 4/Any other quirks? I am wondering about Tourettes Syndrome because of the repeating. Nonsense, hyper talking can be many things...high functioning autistic spectrum, a childhood developing mood disorder (mania), hyper-anxiety (which can go with either of the aforementioned), a poor memory, attachment disorders, just so many things. That's why I recommend a neuropsychologist evaluation. Nobody here can really tell you what is wrong, but the family history is usually a good clue. I would not just ignore it and hope it will go away...it usually gets worse if ignored. And I doubt if any parenting changes will do much good until you realize what you are dealing with. Has she been evaluated for Early Education by your school district? Others will come along with their .02. [/QUOTE]
