[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m so sorry. I think you need to have a plan with your husband to keep the baby removed from this as much as possible. It is likely affecting her developing brain. You might ask your school social worker about getting in home behavior coaching for you and your husband. You can also try dividing and conquering, where on weekends, you each take a child for half a day and then trade.

If you do not have the child on medication, I would absolutely try that. Have her tested for food and other allergies. Ask the school what strategies they use.

I know it’s a lot. I’d also look for a couples’ therapist for a few sessions. This will continue to take a toll on your marriage.

I was at a training this weekend where the instructor reminded us that kids do the best they can. It’s so hard when they are struggling.[/quote]

Thanks DD is going to the doctor today to get bloodwork done and start the allergy conversation. She also struggles with constipation despite being on a regimen so that doesn't help her mood.

I had her out of the house from 9AM - 3PM yesterday while DH was with the baby but even in those 3 hours home together before baby's bedtime I felt it was too much for the baby. DD had a meltdown and so I took the baby into the other room into a quiet, calm space.

I do think DH and I need help outside our marriage for this. It was very hard when DD was little and we started the SN path but things got smoother for a long time until now we're really back in the thick of it. [/quote]
