Just need to get this off my chest. DD 3.5 has a hearing problem which is currently being investigated as not sure all down to glue ear which has been corrected with grommets. Due to bad hearing when out and about she can become quite out of control and hyper as her way of coping with feeling scared (as am sure most would be if couldn't hear properly) was in the shop today and she just went totally hyper on me and as she couldn't hear is really hard to ciontrol her as unless she is facing me I cant communicte with her. ended up leaving the shop nearly in tears from all the looks/tuts I got - 1 woman actually asked if I could control her. its 2 hours later still feel like crying I cant keep her locked up at home but how can I control her if she is scared and I have restricted ways of communicating with her?
Feel better now for just getting it out of my system!
