[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 65377, member: 1722"] Hi Janey & welcome. I'm sorry you have to be here. With the exception of the teeth brushing problem you have pretty much described my daughter at about age 3.5 to 4 years. Have you had her tested for sensory problems? The following can be caused by too much/too little sensory intake: - not cuddly - extremely active - can be physical toward us - talks with a nasty/rude tone-of-voice - can take a long time to transition or get things done - in constant motion - daily tantrums - refuses to brush teeth, let us comb her hair, etc. - refuses all medicine, etc. - always interrupts How does she get along with her peers? Any good friendships? Any academic difficulties at school? Sometimes teachers don't emphasize an area of difficulty at this age because they may be assuming the child just needs a little more time to catch on to the concept. This may or may not be the case. Does she exhibit normal play? As in: a good imagination, uses toys appropriately? Is there any history of developmental issues or mental illness in the tree? Many conditions are highly genetic in nature. The other thing is too look at the colick and any physical conditions throughout her infancy and early childhood. My daughter, too, never grew out of the colick. I nursed her until age two, then she immediately went through a year of several ear infections. Her worst problem was her allergies (food and inhalant). She was so sick that she was constantly out sorts. It may have even led to some uneven development for her. Ex: she never learned to roll over to her left side as an infant, she still struggles a bit with gait and has some sleep issues. These may still be symptomatic of an underlying problem that has yet to be diagnosis'd or it may be a result of her being too sickly to develop needed skills in the necessary order so that skills build on top of one another. This may or may not be the case with your daughter. I just thought I'd throw it out there since there is a similar early pattern between them. [/QUOTE]
