[QUOTE="mama_c, post: 476511, member: 13002"] Hi, I'm back, finally.... ugh... both kids have been sick, DS is teething so up a dozen times a night, and I am just exhausted! Anyway, in the time since I last posted I got in to see a child psychologist. I filled out a couple questionnaires and spent about an hour with her discussing daughter. She'll be going to daughter's preschool next week to observe her (without her knowing), and then daughter and I will be meeting with her for our first session. She'll be doing cognitive tests and the psychologist will observe her playing with me, then we'll take it from there. I am very excited to get started with this. In the meantime, daughter's behaviour is as bad as ever, and some of it is obviously due to some extreme anxiety in certain situations. The other day we were at the grocery store and they had those little child-sized shopping carts. Well, daughter wanted to push one, but she was so nervous that she started crying right away. She wouldn't put the cart back though, so we did our entire grocery shop with her crying her eyes out, and every time I got even a few feet ahead of her she would start running, tears streaming down her face, and screaming, "I'm chasing you Mommy! I'm chaaaasing yoooou!" OMG, the people in that store must have thought I was the mom from hell, forcing my poor three-year-old to push the little cart! :groooansmileyf:I am proud of her, though, for doing something that was so obviously terrifying for her. Well thanks for all the comments, you've given me a lot to think about. I'll keep y'all updated. [/QUOTE]
