[QUOTE="myeverything04, post: 497594, member: 13522"] difficult child does pretty well socially. She is an only child and is only around adults the majority of the time but plays well (for the most part) with her peers. We don't currently live in the neighborhood for the elementary she goes too (regular public school), so there aren't any neighborhood kids she knows from school. We do have playdates with her classmates as much as we can. She is also the most creative person I know. She can take anything and improvise and will even tell me she is 'improvising.' Her IQ test, done when her learning disability evaluation was done in May 2011, placed her in the top 10% of all children ages 7-8 so she is a very bright child, but isn't really into learning things like spelling words or new math problems. She is doing okay in school, meaning she is getting by, but I think she should be ahead of the game considering how smart she is. I remember when she was just walking and was so much taller than the other kids that she would take the toy she wanted to play with next and place it on the highest shelf so no one else could reach it. Her sleep issues come and go. One night she will sleep great. The next night she will be up from 2-5am. I would say out of the 5 nights a week she is with us, she gets up at least 3 nights and comes to get me. She does get Melatonin at night as she won't fall asleep until midnight without it. Just 2 days ago I purchased a queen size inflatable mattress for the floor as my fiance snores and my daughters bed isn't big enough for the two of us. I thought "why not, I sleep with her 1/2 the time anyways." But I also want to spend some quality time with my fiance since he is at work all day. It's a lose, lose situation. Her fine motor skills seem to be okay at this point, with the exception that she never did learn to hold her pencil correctly. We all tried to work with her (all 4 of us parents) and the school did as well but she said it was uncomfortable. Eventually we gave up as the battle lasted 2 years :) [/QUOTE]
