My 6 year old daughter seems to have OCD. She will kiss me and It has to be 4 times or whichever number if times she felt like at the time. Sometimes she would ask a question and when I answer it, she'll ask me to repeat sometimes more than once (she has mild glue ear).
She's very advanced in terms of reading and writing (able to read her brothers books aimed at age 9 or above) In her school report, she's exceeding in almost all areas. She is also super creative and eoikd improvise during play and come out with amazing ideas or stories.
Lately she keeps asking for approval, e.g do I look nice like this? Are you proud of me? She is very confident and has no issues talking to people or making new friends but she can be very bossy. Her brother teases her a lot and puts her down and wondered if this is why she seems approval....
She tends to copy (But not with everything), so If I tried a new food and said "oooo it's delicious then she would eat hers and say she likes it". She watched a video of someone applying make up and I caught her with my mascara, copying.
She doesn't seem to get the other girls at school so well, not sure if it's her slight glue ear affecting her hearing or if she just doesnt understand them as kids can be quite fast but she doesn't have any best or close friends. I would see in her journal writing a certain girl is her best friend but when we arrived at a park and she saw her, she didn't want to play with her and she also took no notice of my daughter.
My partner seems to think there's something not quite right with our daughter but can't really pinpoint and trying except the need to do certain things a certain amount of times.
Can anyone help? Should I be worried?
