[QUOTE="geekparent, post: 377228, member: 9109"] Not so much of a diet as a diet modification. But it can't hurt. I'm willing to try anything. I'd love to, but I can't get an appointment. Other than being a 5 week preemie, she was right on schedule (or ahead) with her developmental milestones. She smiled and laughed around two months, (but the pediatrician pointed out that was 1 month for her), and that was the only delay. By the time she was six months old, she was all caught up with her infant milestones. She mostly skipped crawling, went right to furniture walking and then walking by the time she was about 13 months. Her speech development was on time, if not ahead of schedule. (She's a real chatterbox and has been since she started using words) She doesn't have obsessive interests. She gets obsessed with things and interests for short periods of time. For instance, right now the tv show, Big Time Rush (*shudders*) is her thing. She watches it obsessively, as often as we let her. The same episodes over and over. But in another two weeks, it will be something else. She was doing an art project and needed glitter; she kept reminding me for three days that she desperately needed the glitter. Every time I went out the door to go to work. Then (the day I got the glitter), she'd moved on and the project wasn't that important anymore. But she was calm about the glitter. She accepted that I couldn't get it until the day that I actually purchased it; she just had to remind me. She does transition from activities pretty easily with advanced warning. ("Ok, in ten minutes it's time to take a bath." Or "In fifteen minutes, we're going to turn off the tv and play a game.") However, she does[B][I] freak out[/I][/B] in new situations, no matter how much warning she is given. She takes karate and has been in the children's class. It's time for her to move up to the next level, so Sensei and Shihan (her instructors) agreed with me that we should transition her slowly. Day 1 was watch the other class. Day 2 was just join the other class for warm-ups. Now, we'd talked about this several times. Sensei and Shihan had talked to her about it. We had long conversations. The moment she stepped on the mat (with her Sensei and several kids from her class who'd already moved up) she froze. She froze, she burst into tears and wouldn't do the simple exercises that she's been doing and doing well for six months. And that's probably more info than you were looking for. :blushing: [/QUOTE]
