hi. i agree with the no sugar comment, and also (before my son was diagnosed with autism) they suggested even taking him off dairy products. I am not sure why but they said it may help with the agitation (there are tons of hormones in dairy products) and she most likely wont notice a change to soy. also, give her equal choices for everything. do you want to pick up your toys or make your bed? do you want to do math first or english? those types of things. that may help her feel more empowered which may be the source of the problem if she is "acting out" for any particular reason.

four and five year olds have lots of energy. Use that energy at the playground, make sure she is getting to run around alot at appropriate times. If you can get some of that energy out she might be more cooperative with the things you want her to focus on. She still needs to be prompted through activities. Start timeing how long she can sit for, and then gradually increase it. Make sure that when she is listening and staying focused you are rewarding her with a hug or a good job. They do calm down. They're attention spans increase. Remeber to have patience. Getting frustrated with her will make the situation even more unpleasant. You don't want it to turn into a battle, or make her not enjoy activities. Try to make things fun when you can. Sing lots of songs and do silly dances. Five year olds love to be silly.

You need to get in touch with some kind of community assistance. Yelling teaches, yelling. Hitting teaches hitting. The strongest family bond is the one between mother and daughter. I have 2! No more junk food of any kind, read ingredients. No juice, pop, chips, peanut butter, Kraft dinner etc... Our children are being filled with non-stop chemicals everyday and it's our job to "cleanse" their brains. Relax! She loves you and probably wants you to sit and do homework with her,when I get frustrated I make myself hug my girls cause it's probably my fault they're so opinionated in the first place...She's strong willed and there are lots of books about these types of children. Don't break her spirit, encourage her to be great, school work, colouring, doing dishes, vacuuming...Kids like being important and good at stuff so re-direct and be inventive, if your girls' anything like mine she won't take no for an answer anyway so what choice do you have? Ask her what she wants to learn to do and tell her you need her help be ready to give as much as you ask for though... Good luck!

Same problem here she is almost 4 now and I was getting worried Thanks for asking this question and being sooo honest. If women can not be honest we will never learn different and feel at ease that we are the only ones going through this. I printed out the responses and think Diet will help! Good luck to you !!

Holy cow. I can only imagine where she gets it from...did you read what you actually wrote in you question. It sounds like you are going a mile a minute too. Maybe if you slow down you can get her to slow down too.
