[QUOTE="buddy, post: 475874, member: 12886"] Hello and welcome. I am sorry she is struggling so. I think you will find a lot of support here. I did my student teaching in England and loved it there. that was MANY years ago (kids were in sub normal school and sub sub normal schools when I was there...) But most of us here are from USA so we may need to ask you more questions regarding school system. There are some UK folks though! (and several other countries, smile) Oh Malika...... you there??? Yes, she may be spoiled but I highly doubt that is causing this level of distress and inability to cope in school. I would highly suggest you get a complete evaluation from a child development specialist.... someone who is a medical doctor or a highly trained (here we call them neuropsychologist) psychologist who can help to sort through the issues and to see how her brain processes and applies information. They look at ability, achievement, developmental milestones, language development, sensory profiles and behavioral items which helps to sort through possible diagnosis. In addition if you can get baseline measures from speech and language therapy evaluations as well as occupational therapy (not sure if that is the term used there) which looks at fine motor and sensory integration development. Glad to her school is having her observed by ed. psychiatric. Does she have friends that she does back and forth pretend play with? Does she use creative imaginative play? Are her meltdowns more related to switching between places/actvities/etc??? You say she talks alot, do you feel her langauge is age appropriate? Is she sensitive to textures, a picky eater, fussy about sounds or smells, etc.??? Do her moods switch frequently during the day?? I am sure many here will ask a lot of questions. This helps people who have had similar experiences to connect with you and share ideas. It is not to just be nosy. A very good book that many of us share a love for is called "the Explosive Child" it is very helpful and especially because as you said, traditional behavior ideas tend not to work with our extra challenging kids, or difficult child's as we say here ( difficult child=gift from god, smile). Please keep in touch and I will be pulling for this upcoming observation to help you. I actually hope she does not have an "on" day so he can see her struggles! Hang in there, it can be an emotional journey so be sure to come here whenever you need hugs and support! Again, welcome. [/QUOTE]
