I'm struggling

[stargirl1701]

I don't really know what to type. I've been crying today about my eldest DD. I'm not coping at the moment but I feel like I should be.

She is 3.6 years old. We see SaLT for a stammer. Her behaviour is just so draining and I'm struggling. I'm not sure if it's just normal stuff for a 3 year old but, increasingly, I worry it is not.

Yesterday was just one tantrum after another. All I saw of her before abs after the childminder was a screaming child. She spends 3-4 hours of the 12 she is awake screaming.

Transitions are a problem. Going from one place to another no matter how much preparation/warning I give just results is screaming. Last Sunday it was 90 minutes regarding a pair of trousers which she didn't like (sensory issue?)

I am a primary school teacher. 20 years into the job and I have 5 years experience as an ASN teacher (Scotland). An inner voice is nagging me that this is outside the normal range of behaviour. Nothing seems to work when she is screaming for hours.

I feel like I am failing as a parent. I'm exhausted. I feel worn out. Is it me? Do I need a parenting course?
