You are wise, to have her examined at the pediatrician’s office and to reconsider the after school care. But I agree with Lyn, a lot of it sounds entirely normal for a girl her age – Kate also has meltdowns and similar issues. Will send prayers your way.

Good luck with everything. I’m sure it will all work out just fine, and hopefully just be a growing pain phase.

Eh…..don’t assume that it’s an issue due to foster care and adoption. She is a Kindergartener trying to find her way in the big, bad world. Some of these issues are developmental… or as described here anyway. Have faith and keep your mind open to all the possibilities as you already are. Just love her. Temper tantrums and all.

So many of us have had these kinds of issues with our children. It’s good that you’re open to all the possibilities for help, including reconsideration of the after-school care program. Looking back, I think the most important thing is to keep it all in perspective and don’t allow all of these behavorial bumps define her. The best gift we ever had was finally getting a teacher who understood strong willed children!

Rabbit is blessed to have you and PC as her forever parents. I have no doubt she’ll be fine, and that it will be, in large part, due to your and PC’s thoughtful parenting. She sounds a lot like Zane.

Love,
E.

They go through it even if they haven’t had disruptions. I used to get the teacher phone calls too. Strong willed is exactly it. Even though it is causing problems now, this trait gives her a good chance of growing into a strong woman, one who will maximize her chances of doing well in life. Or so it turned out for my daughter.
All my best wishes for a good resolution.
