[quote=Anonymous]Well, many of the posters are truly vicious. She is still a little girl. Her mother may not have the same access to resources. Her daughter may have significant anxiety and be doing this out of flight or fight. These responses all call the child mentally ill and basically state that she is mentally disturbed and will not have a normal life. You are all being harsh  and I kind.

Op, if you're reading which I doubt you are. Behaviors are not always well understood. Some kids have obvious underlying issues causing the behaviors. Others do not. They are hard to address. You should start with making an appointment with a developmental pediatrician and while waiting get a speech evaluation. Your school can also help you with this. You need to contact the principal and request one. The schools evaluations are not the best so perhaps think about an independent one if you can afford it.

I'm sorry you are going through this. There are so many resources available but they are not easy to find or access. People with typically developing children have no idea how hard it is. There are actually services in the county other than special education that help with therapy and behavior and help the family.

I'm honestly guessing your child has very severe anxiety or perhaps autism and you will need some behavioral therapy. That will be covered.

Best of luck to you and your girl. [/quote]
