I am hoping this will not belong here but I will post it here to see if this sounds like something with a label or just behavioral.
DD#4 is such a moody little thing. She will scream at the top of her lungs at everyone and you can't get her to stop without her having a spack attack. SHe will be happy one second and completely nutso the next. When I talk to her I feel like I have to tread on eggshells for fear of setting her off. DP was saying this evening when she was having a screaming fit while DP was getting her out of the bath that he wants to take her to see "someone"... DD#1 thinks she is bipolar and I said that to one of my sisters after she had her for the day and she replied that maybe she has.
What do you think? She is very challenging, more so than any of the others.
It's hard to tell sometimes isn't it - what's normal but frustrating and what isn't. If you're concerned I think it's better to see your GP about a referral now and be told that she's ok than to wish that you had seen someone later on down the track.
Thanx C, I guess I haven't done anything about it because i am waiting for her to grow out of it, but it seems to be getting worse. And I guess I feel that if I take her to someone she will be as good as gold and all the problems that I explain will be normal and I will feel silly... KWIM?
The first time I took Yasin to see the speechy about his stutter he was having a good day and I thought that she would send me on my way but she believed me. I think that most professionals who work with kids know that they have good and bad days but they also know that parents don't come and see them unless the bad days are outweighing the good.
i think its better to be told there is nothing wrong and feel silly than to be told years down the track that there is something wrong and wish you had done something sooner.... Hugs that your having a challenging time.
Listen to your head babe.....if you think something is'nt right then take the steps. On the other hand, she might just be your wild child in the making
It's hard to say, but maybe having 3 older sisters it's her way of getting attention I don't know. My little brother used to be like that when he was young- he's 20 now and fine. But it is hard to say I guess, plus no harm in getting her seen to just to make sure.
Want some opinions...
