So I have the most beautiful loving 6 year old daughter- who has a great sense of humour. She is an only child.
School - she is on an independent learning plan for mathematics with suspected dyscalculia.- she has friends and is achieving average in all other curriculum areas. - teacher reports no concerns re behaviour.- she is attending a lunchtime work shop to help her deal with anxieties and her emotions. The group also looks at raising confidence - she struggles to concentrate on homework and this often takes time having to start, stop and revisit to complete it - my daughter says when they are having carpet time she struggles to listen and concentrate.
Home- ever since I can remember my daughter has always been 'different' even as a baby - she hit all her milestones - she cries very easily about the smallest of thing - she has a breakdown if I tidy her room (even just throwing rubbish out) and she will throw things around to make a mess again - she is very fussy with food I mean I can count on one hand food she will eat - she is over sensitive to noise and will cover her ears - she is over sensitive to materials. She will not let me buy her new clothes and even the clothes she likes once washed and out in again she will breakdown crying saying they are 'pringly' the last tantrum she had getting ready lasted 3 hours - she doesn't and won't have her hair any other way than a low pony n again will cry and breakdown if I try to do it different or put a product in it. She will mess it up and rip the bobble out - she is very anxious and worried over everything - she picks her cuticles and nails sometimes making them bleed slightly - she struggles to go to sleep - she talks excessively and I mean excessively - she likes to draw and watch her iPad nothing else despite my efforts - she is very clingy and even. When just in a different room will continually shout n check u are still there every 5 minutes - she likes time in her own to "calm down" in her words
My daughter is well behaved, well mannered and good as gold. Is there something wrong or am I over reacting??
