My daughter is now 7 years old and in 2nd grade. I have been struggling with her since she was born. She almost didn’t make it at birth and was in NICU for 4 weeks. She was on heart med. for her 1st year of life. She always did things slower than other kids. FOr example, crawled at 10 mo., walked at 16 months etc. She has always easily become frusterated.
Since the age of 3 things got really bad. SHe started having fits of rages and hurting others plus herself. She’s been in counsling since she was 3. I don’t feel like I am any closer to an answer today. She has had several dx’s. Such as bipolar, sensory dysfunction, depression etc. She was on bp med for 5 months and it worked well the first 2 mo. and stopped working. So I took her off.
I have her in occupational therapy and counsling. I just want her to be happy and have a normal childhood. She is struggling in math. She reverses her numbers when reading and writing them. She cannot memorize her addition and subtraction facts. SHe reads and writes them backwards. She still manages to pass. And she does fine in other subjects.
School wont offer her anything because she’s on the fine line.
I am exauhsted from searching for help and answers. I’m a single mom of 2 kids with limited finances.
ANy suggestions????/
