[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 571342, member: 14557"] Being bilingual can cause some delay on speech as others have said, but it is not a cause of your problems. And studies show that it is a bad idea to talk other than your first language to your kids anyway. People don't use their second language as well (even if they are fluent) and especially showing feelings is more difficult with languages learned later. My kids are functionally bilingual even though I and husband have same first language and that language is mainly spoken in our home, but we are surrounded with also other language and kids picked also that up early. However if your daughter has some learning difficulties it may be more difficult for her to learn English. What does school say? Is her English on the level they would expect? If you have noticed some food sensitivities, you may want to start from there. Allergies can cause lots of things, especially if they cause problems with sleep. After you have physical side under control and if problems continue, you have to start trying to find causes for problematic behaviours. One thing I would advise you to start right away, is a detailed diary of your daughters behavioural, food and sleep patterns. That may be very valuable information when you try to get roots of her problems. [/QUOTE]
