My 3yo dd has started to develop some behaviors that are troubling me - she has started covering her ears and saying her ears hurt if there is a sound that bothers her (but doesn't bother anyone else), and this morning, she suddenly started crying, and w when I asked her what was wrong she said "I can't remember who put my nightgown on last night" - it was just odd. And last night, I helped her brush her teeth, everything was fine, read her a book, she started crying and saying "I don't like it when you brush my teeth" - it was strange and unrelated to what was going on, like it came out of nowhere. She is just acting a little strange. Today, she pooped on the floor - she has never had an accident, ever. I don't know if this is a pediatrician issue or if I should see someone else, a specialist or something.

[ Reply | Options ]Three year olds are funny little creatures. While their brains are and vocabulary are truly developing, they still have the attention spans of little gnats. It all sounds normal. I just hope mine will stop screaming at a drop of a hat.
[ Reply | Options ]how do you deal with that? the constant crying, omg, it is getting to me. yesterday, I started stopping her every time she started crying to see if I could help her figure out why she was upset and another way to express it
[ Reply | Options ]I haven't been handling it well lately. I think I was fine as a mother until she turned three. I just have to remember that it must be so much harder to be her trying to figure it all out than it is to be her mother trying to figure it all out. At lea least I have UB and a glass of wine at the end of the day.
[ Reply | Options ]that's true - I think I need to be more compassionate and find out a way to put myself in her situation, instead of being irritated with her, which is what I've been doing lately
[ Reply | Options ]I've really been working on this - not losing my temper and just being there for her when she loses it herself. I just have to remember that any future behavior is learned behavior for her. When she screams when something isn't going right (playing, w etc.) I let her call or come to me first because if I ask what's wrong, she'll scream her head off and I'll just walk away until she calms down. But sometimes, I just walk over to her and put my arm on her back or rub her head w/o saying anything and all she wants is a hug. It changes daily. You'll drive yourself nuts trying to figure them out.

sounds like she is being abused or molested. They are behaviors kids who are being abused exhibit. Who takes care of her?

When I ride in a taxi cab with my DC I:
- Use a carseat
- Buckle him/her in his/her own seat
- Hold him/her on my lap
- I'd never ride in a taxi with my DC, it's much too dangerous!
