I'm worried about my dd, she has always been very intense and whiney, she cried a lot as a baby, I found this very hard i am a very positive person but she seems so negative, she is only young but already showing such opposite characteristics to me which I'm finding very hard. I feel utterly worn out it's been so hard trying to stay positive and I heard a lot of intense crying for well over 14 months plus I didn't sleep for a long while in that period due to her constant wakings. Even from a small baby and up to now she is intensely terrified of any visitors even her own family bar 1-2 who she liked instantly and has always been fine with but others she has shown a clear dislike for and if we are out and about wirh friends she puts a very miserable face on and turns the opposite way until they go it's awful. I took her out on the train today for the first time she just looked so unimpressed the whole while we were out and didn't see her smile much at all until she came home. She has also been refusing meals at home which is so worrying, it's been a couple of months now, she only eats breakfast and somehow survives all day until bedtime where she will only take milk! But she apparently eats very well at nursery the 4 days she's there! I feel like this is so hard and unrewarding esp when I see many happy looking toddlers and babies and some that also eat relatively well. She's still a toddler and in full terrible two mode is it just this or is there possibly something more to it? I never expected her to be like this it's just such a shock

Also when we go to the park she doesn't like other children anywhere near her, I find this really hard esp when she stands and gives them such an awful look, it's like the death stare! I tell calmly to say hello or the little boy girl just wants to say hi and play but she just isn't interested. She is apparently fine at nursery though and been told she's quite popular!! Wth I wouldn't believe it if they saw what we see, same if she goes to soft play she isn't interested and will come out quite quickly it's just not at all how I thought she would be. Are toddlers like this she's almost 2.5 and it's worrying me
