My partners 3 year old behavior concerns me at times. This is not a post trying to get at her as i love and care about her as much as my own children.
Things I have noticed are, firstly she constantly asks for food. I'm not talking once or twice. She will ask for food when she's just ate two plates of dinner. Most mornings she eats 2 breakfasts and is still "hungry". As she does not live with us we have little control of her diet. She is very over weight and wearing age 7-8. Sometimes she will ask over 30 times for dinner and it's only 3pm. She cannot play alone and constantly asks for people to come with her, then doesn't want to do what she asked. She's only recently learnt colors and is obsessed with watching tv. She asked questioned over and over again even if she has just been told the answer 5 times. She also never listens.
Something that concerns me the most is she always has a sore bum. I think this is down to her masturbating. She does this all the time and will put toys in between her legs. Her manners are awful, she burps so loud thinks it funny and tells everyone. I think her home life (with her mum) is very unstable. She stays with other people including us at least 4-5 nights a week. I doubt she's ever taught anything. I do try but it's hard when she's not with us enough.
Another thing that concerns me is that she rarely poos, she must hold it in for week. It is always diarrhea and it smells disgusting. (Not like normal poo)
I am so concerned but as I'm not the parent there is only so much I can do.
I just need some advice on how I can make things better for her?
