I have a 5 year old daughter, who can be a bit challenging at times. At first thought I put it down to stubbornness but now we are exploring other ideas such as a disorder or something. Can anyone give any suggestions to help or share any similar experiences or any ideas of what this could be?
She seems to have a hard time with starting new things (school, swimming lessons, sport activity, going to a new soft play), she is very particular about her food now when she never really had a problem before, not eating foods she used to eat, not wearing new clothes even when her old ones are very used, has holes or is stained etc. Not wanting to wear socks because she doesn't like the seam that goes across the heel. Constantly asking if the tag is hanging out of her clothes when she puts them on. Not wanting to play others games unless the other person plays her game first.
Is this just normal 5 year old behaviour or should we been concerned ?
I've just spent the last 1hr30 trying to get her to put on her new underwear she got for Xmas but she refuses. She would rather put back on her dirty old pants than put on the new one. And she has ended up going to bed with no pants on at all. Because of total refusal to wear the new pants and vest 😞
Help anyone?!?
