[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 298532"] Hi and welcome. I think you are on the right track. Have her evaluated and see if therapy or medication might be appropriate. Of course, since she is very young, medication may not be given at this time, but it is possible it could come into the picture shortly. Also, since she is young, physicians might hesitate to create a diagnosis. This is nothing to overly concern yourself with and in fact may be a good thing. However, they may start to get formulate a diagnosis. They might have a suspected diagnosis. This gives you time to help your child. Is your daughter hyperactive? Impulsive? Does she rage? Have you looked into literature about ADD or ADHD? This is probably the most common diagnosis given to young children. When our daughter was young, we bought this tape (there is a good book with- the same title) called 123 Magic, that I thought was GREAT! It really HELPED her/us. I would highly recommend it, along with the one you have already purchased. You might want to take your daughter to a nutritionist or go to the library and see if you can find an appropriate book on the subject. Certain vitamins are said to help with ADD symptoms...but figuring out a dosage for a young child is really tricky. Fish Oil is said to help "calm" the brain and they now have those in the gummy variety for children. You might check the label to see if a child as young as yours can take them. They also have gummy multi vitamins. I really like that you are protecting siblings from drama due to this situation. Also, make sure you nurture your relationship with your husband. Make sure the two of you don't get into arguments over this...at the very least...not in front ofyour daughter or the kids. As best as you are able, take time for your self and take time to be with your husband along once in awhile. Perhaps a once a week "date night." Even if it is just for an hour or two...husbands and wives need time alone together and this is perhaps even more important when there are extra stressors. Wishing you well. [/QUOTE]
