Sounds so frustrating, but normal for the more tight wound souls. Matilda is/was very similar. She has food reactions, she has an allergy to cows milk. Also we found juice... apple juice was the worst offender actually is horrid. No matter if there is no sugar added or not. It was like giving her an injection of hyperactivity and uncontrollability. So no more apple juice or orange juice in our house as well as milk. Its water or funnily enough natural confectionary co lemonaide. She has no reactions to lemonaide Go figure.

Anyway... I second what Lulu said about the parenting course. If anything it helped DH & I get on top of things & work on it together & be consistent for her. She responded better when we were the same everytime.

Unfortunately for us, Matilda doesn't respond to pain LMAO.... she laughs at getting smacks or running into walls. The other day she ran into the side of a truck!! She wound up with a huge purple lump on her head, and all she did was shake her head and keep running .
