[QUOTE="flutterby96, post: 61060, member: 3922"] Wow... that was fast! Thanks so much for your reply. It gets VERY lonely sometimes, feeling like I'm the only one dealing with this stuff. Onto your questions... 1. Who diagnosis'd your daughter? A LPC who we just started seeing 2 weeks ago. We are in the process of dealing with-my depression as well as working on my parenting. 2. Are there any interventions in place or medications being trialed? The counselor referred us to a behavioral pediatrician (not sure if that's the right term), and we're just waiting to get an appointment. No medications right now, but we're starting "1-2-3 Magic" with her (and her brother) and talking a lot about parenting in the counseling sessions. 3. Is she in school yet? If so, how did she do? She will be starting her 2nd year of preschool next week. Last year was really strange... she started out GREAT, then we moved right before Christmas and she started having problems. After Christmas break, she got a new teacher & things went downhill from there. By the end of the year, I was dreading what I'd hear at pickup time. Constantly hitting other kids, the teachers, not obeying, wanting to be alone, throwing MAJOR tantrums over trivial things. She'll be at the same school this year (private Lutheran school), but with a new teacher. She says she doesn't want to go & she doesn't want to be with this new teacher. I'm praying she takes well to it this year. 4. Does she have any friends and does she play appropriately? Yes, she has friends. Mostly friends from church & the neighborhood. I think she plays pretty appropriately. She's pretty bossy, but I haven't heard any major complaints from other kids' parents. 5. How does she get along with her brother? For the most part, pretty well. They're only 14 months apart, so they're pretty much best friends. But, he also gets the brunt of her anger when she lashes out because he's usually the closest thing and/or involved in the melee. 6. Is there any significant medical history that may be impacting her behavior? No, I don't think so... she was always a "difficult" child, from birth. Reflux, but she outgrew that once she was off the bottle. Again, thanks so much for your support! It means a lot to know I'm not alone. [/QUOTE]
