[QUOTE="geekparent, post: 377187, member: 9109"] She's also diagnosed with anxiety disorder. I was told that the rages and tantrums are a result of the anxiety closing in her on her "getting stuck" in her head and unable to move past those walls. Her doctor didn't say we needed to go glutten free, just that we needed to reduce/eliminate white flour and white sugar and supplement with multi-grains/true whole wheat if we're going to do wheat at all. And also to add more protein. I'm curious to know if anyone has heard of this sort of diet and what it helps? Why would the recommendation be whole grains vs. glutten free? My daughter is very ego-centric. The world revolves around her. What I mean by that, is that if she was already frustrated and someone looked at her, accidentally bumped into her, walked past her desk and created a breeze that made the paper fluff then it's all their fault, they were being mean, they did it on purpose, they stared at her, they hit her, they teased her . . . I'm not just taking this on the teachers' words over the years. I've seen it in action. The minute anything is out of place in her world, the world is blowing up and coming to an end. The moment a friend doesn't want to do what she wants to do or does anything that doesn't involve difficult child it's because the person hates her or is being mean to her. She will come home at least once per week exclaiming that someone doesn't like her and doesn't want to be her friend. Why? Because they wanted to play jump rope and she wanted to play Barbies. I don't even know how to communicate with that sort of self-centered view of the world. Short of telling her "Hey, you're not IT. You're not close to IT. You're really NOT that important compared to the other billions of people on the planet. The world DOES NOT, HAS NOT and WILL NOT revolve around you." But she's 8 and I know she couldn't grok that. And I'm pretty sure her self-esteem issues are messed up enough because she does get ostracized because of her behavior. She doesn't get invited to play dates. She doesn't get invited to birthday parties. I feel bad for her, but I know that it's all in how she reacts - no other kids want anything to do with her. And honestly, if I were 8? I wouldn't want anything to do with Miss Hair Trigger either. [/QUOTE]
