[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 471782, member: 11791"] Just a gut feel... but I'm reading into the post that she behaves better at home than at daycare. This may have any of several causes, all of which should be evaluated as quickly as possible... none of THESE would require medications, but may require therapy or other interventions... 1) Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation for sensory issues - and there are therapies to help 2) Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation for motor skills issues - and there are therapies to help 3) hearing test 4) ask about (its too early to quite test for, but... signs may be there) whether she may have problems with auditory figure ground - this is an Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) where the child can hear normally, and process language normally - but cannot filter out important sounds in the context of background noise. This can multiply if the child has sensory issues around noise as well... What are her sleep habits like? how fast does she go to sleep, how often and when does she wake, does she seem tired? This could also be a factor. Don't rule out medications forever. If your child need anti-biotics, or insulin, would you feel the same way? The key is, FIRST you have to know what you are dealing with. THEN you can start with the lowest-risk interventions and work up. But... if it takes medications to counteract an imbalance in brain chemicals... to me, that is no different than taking insulin because your body doesn't make enough. [/QUOTE]
