DD1 is aged 5 and just completing reception - I know she is tired after a full-on year but is this normal?
tantrums (full on screaming and shouting) approx 5 times daily (medium day, more on a bad day)
won't sleep at night until about 9/9.30
super sensitive to everything
on the way home after school today kept telling me she wanted to kill herself (we'd had a bit of a standoff when she wanted to go in her little sisters buggy instead of walking which was too tricky with the traffic)- is saying you want to die/kill yourself normal at just turned 5? it sounds a bit heavy to me
she has just started having wee accidents in the last few weeks, wee'd in bed last night
now she has developed little pimples all around her mouth and nose and one of her nostrils is looking all sore and raw
I've kept her off school two days in the last week to try to let her rest/sleep as I reckon she is just exhausted but she just doesn't ever seem to wind down. yesterday was reception class picnic in the park too, which ordinarily I'd have thought she'd love but she didn't want to go at all
does this sound normal? any ideas on how to help her relax a bit? what do you reckon to the pimply things?
