[QUOTE="amburrleigh, post: 519361, member: 14260"] My difficult child is my biological daughter. I'm a single mother, Dad's been gone since she was barely 2 (and was rarely around before then). She has a 3yo brother who has recently begun mimicking some of her behaviors, but reacts completely different to discipline. Seems to be a perfectly "normal" 3 yo. We've lived with my mother since she was born & we do have issues of inconsistency there. At 3, her defiance was just more thought-out than typical tots & as soon as a limit was set she'd make plans to break it. Her fits didn't really start being more than a simple tantrum until about age 4 1/2 or 5. She is perfect at school. Has already mastered all of the kindergarten skills required & loves to learn. She focuses well & is above standards in her reading & math skills. She hasn't had any developmental delays that I'm aware of. Sometimes I can tell her fits are just a way that she thinks she can use to get what she wants, but other times, they come out of no where & sometimes they come & go within seconds. She usually ends up a few minutes after a fit, apologizing and crying. She told me last night that she "feels really bad for [herself] and for [me]." [/QUOTE]
