Hey Dee

Sorry to hear that things are going that well...

I know you've seen a Paediatrician before and he/she didn't seem to think there was a problem but I'm wondering whether it's worthwhile seeing someone else. Not necessarily a Paediatrician...maybe an OT or a Clinical Psychologist.

To me, it really does sound like your little girl does have some sensory issues that are really coming out as behavioural problems...and causing great problems for you both.

There's some books on sensory integration difficulties out there...might be worthwhile just checking them out.

One of the best ones is called the Out-of-Sync Child but I think it's written more for health professions. I just did a search on Amazon and there's quite a few books of sensory integration (I haven't read them) but some are targeted directly to parents.

Of course, I'm not saying that she definitely has these difficulties...but I think it might be worthwhile checking it out. If it is sensory integration issues, there ARE things that can be done to help her become less sensory defensive.

Take care...
