My 5 year old started kindergarten this year, and when we finally agreed to go along with the evaluation process and see if we could get her a diagnosis and medications, I sent a letter to the teacher, asking if she had any concerns she wanted to voice I could pass along to the psychiatric. She rambled on and on about how great she is and how she hasn't had any problems and doesn't see any hyperactivity or inattention problems or mood swings or anything. I was completely shocked, she's a complete angel at school. We knew that in her private school last year she started acting up in class, so I feared once the newness wore off, she would start getting into trouble at school. So then today home came a note....
She asked what steps we had decided to take, becuase she WAS starting to see some attitude and agressive behavior from my daughter, she pushed some poor little girl down on the playground today and was yelling at her.
She also mentioned that my daughter spends obscenely long periods of time in the restroom when she goes...
Now, she is NOT Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), so I know that she isn't spending all the extra time doing ritual hand-washing or anything, and when I ask, she keeps saying that she has problems with her clothes...this I don't understand because she is so skinny, most of her clothes she doesn't even have to unbutton or unzip to get them up and down.
So I am trying to figure out, WHAT IS SHE DOING IN THERE? Do any of you have difficult child's that stay in the bathroom for what seems like forever, but they don't really DO anything????
