[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You mention multiple other children. How much 1:1 time does she get? Real, undistracted 1:1 quality time?[/quote] This. Mine mellowed our significantly when I started really paying solid undistracted attention to her. We read when she gets home from school and cuddle. I also make time to play with her a few times a week. She’s an only but I also work full time and have a partner that travels for weeks at a time, so there’s tons put on hold to do this, but it changes her everything. We also go on a very long walk a few times a week. If one on one time isn’t enough (AND she’s getting enough sleep/not hungry/thirsty/overstimulated by tv), I might check for sensory stuff, could be anxiety of some sort needing to get out. [/quote] And she still drives me bonkers, but this stuff helps immensely. [/quote]
