[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD, who is my first of two and seven and a half is a difficult child. Surprisingly, we saw no signs of this until she was 5. She was an easy baby and a great sleeper. She did well in daycare and preschool. In Kindergarten, she started having minor occurrences of silly, disruptive behavior and not listening to teachers. Things have become increasingly worse. She is very defiant, and usually only listens when we have told her there will be a consequence if she doesn't. She requires high levels of attention and is incapable of playing alone. The thing we find most difficult, though, is that she can be so unkind and unpleasant. She's rude and snide without good reason, and trying to keep her in a good mood can be exhausting. We are generally nice, kind, and pleasant people and her behavior is so demoralizing. It's hard.[/quote]

This sounds like anxiety. I urge you to get an evaluation and treatment. It’s not normal not to play alone at this age. And any SN parent will tell you that when you realize you’re walking on eggshells or waiting - there’s an issue. [/quote]

Also the school issue - there’s a clear need. Time to get help.[/quote]
