[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 519402, member: 1550"] Hi there and welcome to the board. I am going to respectfully disagree that a three year old has the ability to think ahead of ways to defy you and am going to suggest that her overreaction to being told "no" or being denied what she likes is not normal and needs to be looked into. She obviously has less of an ability to control herself than other kids. Many of our kids do well at school (at least in the early grades) but, because they are holding it in for so long, totally explode at home, at the people they know love them best. in my opinion children do not wake up each morning and decide "How can I get my way and make mom miserable?" As an adult who raged as a child, it just was nothing like that...no plan was ever made and the feelings of remorse were deep after I lost control of myself. I think you should take her to a neuropsychologist for a total evaluation. A neuropsychologist will pretty much cover everything. You may not get a definite diagnosis at her age...she is too young...but you will certainly know where she has difficulties (impulse control? Transitions? Noise? Overcrowding? Being overtired?). I've been to all the professionals both for myself and my son, and I feel neuropsychs do the best comprehensive testing of our children. I would not waste any money on "quick fix" programs or behavioral therapists. Our kids tend to not react well to them. These are for typical kids who get a little out of control. I believe most of our kids do not have the normal "quit" responses that other kids have...and the could be many disorders. Keep in touch and update us on your progress and plans! [/QUOTE]
