[QUOTE="katkick, post: 526453, member: 14477"] The pediatrician is suppose to be calling me back. I tried to locate a neuropsychologist through our insuranc - I don't see that type of practice, should I be looking for something else? She has ALWAYS ben a bit of a difficult child - even when I was pregnant. She has had a lot of separation issues, until 2nd grade - leaving her at school was very difficult. For many kids the teachers would say they stopped crying when the parents left - not her, she kept right on going for hours. She does like for me to hold her, even now. When she isn't having a bad day I couldn't ask for a better child. We changed schools with her this school year. SHe has had a hard time really connecting at the new school. Some days she just reads at recess, vs. playing. Her teacher told her tha she can only read for 10 minutes and then she needs to interact with the other kids. She is always comparing herself to others and doesn't think she is good enough. She has all As with the exception of a B in math. She is very smart but gets very uptight about doing anything at school. She does have good eye contact, we have taught both of our girls how important this is when you are speaking to someone. She lives with her Dad, sister and me. My husband and I both have jobs that require us to travel. When i am out of town she and her Dad have a lot of issues - basic things just getting things completed, doing what she is asked - if she decides that she doesn't want to do something it results in a meltdown. I was helping her with a homework project and test yesterday morning. She didn't want to study so she started acting up and being disrespectful. As a result I told her that if she continued she would not be able to play with the neighbors during an outing for 15 minutes after we all arrived. She continued, so she got 30 minutes taken away - then she calmed down and the rest of the day was great. When we got to the event, she didn't challenge me with her "time out" she asked when it would start and when it would be over. After 30 minutes I let her join in with the others. Everything was fine, she understood why she was sitting out and assured me that she would be better - this morning we started all over again. There are weeks when we have no issues and then there are days that come out of no where. She is a sweet girl that I love more than anythng in the world, I'm just at a loss on how I can help her get over this and move on to fun days. [/QUOTE]
