Hi ladies first post here and I just need some advice.
My DD is 5 and is really struggling and I don't know how to help her. She really struggles with her emotions, it's almost like a red mist descends and she cannot see or think straight, hits, kicks and struggles sometimes to speak. Lockdown has 100% made it worse however she has always been like it to an extent. We have tried talking, reward charts, consequences such as toys and ipad being removed however nothing works longer than 2 weeks.
She has always been sensitive to certain noises, textures (getting better as she gets older), and has struggled with seeing people she may not see that regularly. For example, she knows her great grandparents really well however really struggles initially speaking and looking at them. I have to ease her in and give her a confidence boost to help her if that makes sense?
School haven't picked anything up and said she has fitted in, however from what I've seen at the play ground she seems to only have a couple of friends that she plays with and the other children she seems more on the outside if that makes any sense so I am wondering if she could be "masking"?
What does everyone think? Any advise on how to help? Sorry I know I haven't explained myself amazingly well!
