O.k, think i have mentioned before that my 4 yr old Dd2 is quite a challenge to say the least.
I have always had probs with her behaviour and she has always been a grumpy child.
When she was a baby i thought that her behavoiur/grumpyness was due to the fact that she didn't sleep very well at all.
She finally slep through at 14 mths, but her behaviour has never really improived.
I know that most 4 yr olds can be naughty, but it's not really her being naughty that is the problem. It's more her reactions to situations that i find hard to handle.
If we are out shopping and she doesn't get her own way, she will screech at me at the top of her voice and either run off or lie on the floor.
If someone in the street speaks to her, then she will screech again and then refuse to look at them.
On a recent rip to the g.p, an old man spoke to her, so she screeched at him and then threw her self on the floor kicking and screaming.
She crys alot of the slightest thing, for example, my mom tried to wipe her hands after she had eaten chocolate and she cried for half an hour and refused to speak to my mom for the rest of the day. Every time my mom spoke to her she screeched at her and looked away.
Several times just latley i have caught her pinching Ds's dummy too. She hasn't had a dummy in the day since she was 2 and stopped having one of a night at xmas.
She has also on ocasions ran in to the road and pushed her dolls pushchair into the road. Oh and refused to get off a bus.
Am i just being over sensitive or has she got problems ??
