[QUOTE="laurensmyprincess, post: 171396, member: 2898"] Thank you so much for responding on the holiday weekend. I hope everyone is having a great one! Yes, the epilepsy can absolutely affect behavior. It is pretty textbook unfortunately. Especially temporal lobe onset epilepsy since the temporal lobe is the powerhouse of emotions. However, even with kids with E, the same strategies like Collabrative problem solving are used. Our hospital recommends these strategies for kids like mine. I need to go out and get the book....I read it a while ago. But in the meantime, looking for some guidance. Other than her epilepsy, she developed right on time with her fine and gross motor and communication skills. She is verbal, but she has word finding and short term memory issues, again because of where the epilepsy is originating. She is more immature than other 6 year olds her age without a doubt. I would say that she acts like a 3 year old in her behaviours. She is also not very good with other children. She is okay one on one, but gets bossy, and just does not play well in larger groups; almost causing trouble purposely to get attention. I think the other kids are starting to realize that she is different and it really hurts me to watch it. Again, thank you for your time and responses. [/QUOTE]
