[QUOTE="totoro, post: 167300, member: 3155"] Welcome! Even though it is hard to come to places like this. We do understand. Yes she does sound a lot like a lot of our kids... My, K is very much like that. I have had to pull over on the highway because she was pulling my hair out and throwing things at me screaming at the top of her lungs, her little sister crying in terror. I pulled K right out of the car and Restrained her right there in the gulley! Until she calmed down... we do what we have to. I really have had to let go of the "I am to blame, and she is doing this to me feelings" No child, especially this young wants to feel so bad. Most of these kids have a lot of chaos in their heads. With sensory issues, it is even worse. Noises are amplified, so much more than you could imagine, tastes, textures, sensations... It literally drives some crazy. The other thing, is you have to shelve some of your old rules, "The Explosive Child", if you are battling non-stop. If you are getting no where, stop fighting for now... dinner, why bother if it is just a huge fight for all of you. let her eat what and when she wants. If she is that unhappy and so is the whole house, really what is it going to hurt? We have had to do this with showers, teeth brushing, many things on occasion. You know your child, if she is in pure agitation over something and you are raging, why bother? Until your child is stable and you have the help you need for your whole family, shelve it... work on one goal at a time, so as not to overwhelm each other. My daughter has done the singing thing for years, it has not gotten better... sensory issues... but she can let me grind coffee in the same room as her now!!! Again, welcome!!! [/QUOTE]
