He definitely can make me feel like either pulling my hair out or crying. <BR/><BR/>He's also 4 and his teacher recommended I get him tested for ADHD but all the psychs I talked to lately tell me he is still too young to determine if there is a real problem. To me, there is a real problem but I guess I have to give the benefit of the doubt that maybe he is just an overzealous 4 year old. The most importnat thing though I think we need to remember is that we are good moms and we didn't cause our kids to act out.<BR/><BR/>You know your daughter better than anyone as to whether or not she is stressed from the move or if this is just trials and tribulations of everyday with her. Either way, I hope it gets better for you (and me).NH Yocalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04706404613228845440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20957385.post-54064722384324082792008-04-26T07:30:00.001-07:002008-04-26T07:30:00.001-07:00And funnily enough I am NOT related to them at all...And funnily enough I am NOT related to them at all!

You are stressed about the move, why wouldn't she be? You are her Mom and you know best, but give yourselves a break and get settled etc.....the tub experience is something I could have written...so typical of kids that age. I know how difficult it can be in the moment and lets face it, you have alot on your plate right now. I wish you luck in just getting through the move and settling in...hang in there.Betsy Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02498274247502373134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20957385.post-36077769166512470862008-04-24T12:32:00.000-07:002008-04-24T12:32:00.000-07:00I agree with Meg.

She's very mean, especially to her little brother. And, she knows how to play us. I'm pretty sure we're not as consistent as we should be and that adds to the problem. Consistency is the key, and, unfortunately it's so much more difficult than it sounds.<BR/><BR/>Good luck and hang in there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20957385.post-44814543295540362362008-04-23T07:45:00.000-07:002008-04-23T07:45:00.000-07:00It's possible that the stress of moving is taking ...It's possible that the stress of moving is taking a toll on her. Even if she doesn't fully understand it, she might be picking up on your stress. I know it happens to us around here.<BR/><BR/>But I think a behaviorist is not a bad idea. Even if nothing is "wrong", at least you'll know that for a fact. And if they are concerned, they can help you all into making it easier for her. <BR/><BR/>Keep up posted and good luck!Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15444139810186481447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20957385.post-78384005529042804412008-04-22T15:27:00.000-07:002008-04-22T15:27:00.000-07:00A behavorist sounds like a good avenue to pursue. ...A behavorist sounds like a good avenue to pursue. We have a little boy in our preschool who sounds a great deal like Big J and my boss and friend says it has something to do with his sensory perception or sensory overload.<BR/><BR/>If you are worried about her I would definitely explore all available avenues for both your and her sake.<BR/><BR/>Good Luck.Mama of 2https://www.blogger.com/profile/03644346636194842700noreply@blogger.com
