[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She might be ADHD with her extreme fixation (re: incondolable about clothing) and hyper sensitivity (re: getting a little wet or accidentally dirty). It can present in a lot of ways and your kid is still young, but it might be so etching to watch for. Did you talk about the details of the trip prior to going? Talk about there's going to be XYZ instead of ABC. Let's think about how it's different, but still really fun. We usually show our kids the website of places we're going to - even the street view sometimes (bc that helps me too). It's helpful to have a visual to re- set expectations.[/quote] I thought the same thing. She sounds a little neurospicy (I suspect my 3 year old is too) and you probably are beating yourself up too much for the way your kid just is. Prep helps us a ton but I don’t know what age 4 is like yet![/quote]
