Lexy - Thank you for your response! She gets very hyper in her language - talking very fast and repeating the same bits of information over and over, then she jumps to another topic. It's like she has all this information inside of her that she needs to spill out quickly - as if her time to talk will run out. She's my only child and has my ear all the time, so I hope she doesn't feel like there's a time limit on my listening! She can't sit still for any length of time (altho she stays in her seat at school) - she hops up from the dinner table constantly.
She has down periods where she seems like she's almost looking for something to be sad about - she'll start talking about this good friend of hers who she has the typical grade school love/hate relationship - they're fighting one day and best friends the next. She will look really sad and start crying about it. My grandpa died last year and she was VERY close to him, saw him every week. I'll ask her what's wrong and she'll say she misses grandpa.
Anyway, some of it just doesn't seem right. I think she has attention problems and I'm taking her to the pedi. for evaluation. She's been put in the remedial reading group for next year - not because she can't read, but she has comprehension troubles. From what I can tell, it's that she can't stick through the story long enough to remember it.
Probably lots of things going on, but if you have any info. you can email, that would be great! I guess I'm not looking for a diagnosis particularly, but want to look at her behaviors, see how they are affecting her ability to learn and socialize and work with her to change or modify some of them or just give her coping strategies for school.
Sorry for the long post, but with you being a therapist, I'm sort of taking advantage :-) My email is LDavis at cmsstl dot com.
Thanks,
~ Lynne
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Hey Lynne,
> Just a little bit of info that I can share about Bi-polar in children. Bi-polar disorder is very hard to diagnose in children because of the their tendencies to hyper activity and moodiness anyway. A lot of times in children the manic episode looks like severe irritation/aggitation. A lot of times they do not have a typical "manic" attack. Of course you also have to look for depressive episodes. When you say signs and symptoms what do you mean... I have some info I could email you if you would like. Just let me know. Have a great day.

I have a 13 year old boy who is now starting to really be interested in the whole girlfriend/boyfriend scene and let me tell you it is scary for me, so I know with girls it has to be even more scarier.
What is it with this generation? I was never into boys like that at 13. It's crazy....so I just try to keep the reigns a little tight and pray.

LynneDa,
Maybe I should introduce you to my husband, and you can swap gemini stories. (sigh) I think cleanliness is something that is affected by my style as well. Or maybe I have ADD. I start doing one project, like straightening up and dusting the office, and then get distracted by something else that I see needs doing. Soon I am bored in the office and I have switched to the other thing.Sometimes my hubby gently gets me back on task. He's a dear.
Take care, and extra patience to you!

gg -Thank you for the patience wish! Luckily my husband is not offended when I "re-direct" him! He sighs but says he knows I'm right! And, he has enormous patience with my leonine qualities (needing lots of attention!) :-)

Simus -
Good luck with your daughter. Mine are younger, but I see the future and it is almost here! I know you have to tread lightly but firmly and that is oh so difficult. I've said a prayer for you and for her!

Hi Girls!
I love the idea that we are all swapping pictures. It is what a fabulous diverse group we are! I am luckyad at aol.com if you didn't know and wanted to send pictures!
As to the hair products. I swear by rusk sheer brilliance... it is the only thing that can keep my hair down (besides the thermal reconstructing, which I am getting tomorrow) but that is for people with big puffy, currly crazy fro ball hair like myself. Also a pricey but wonderful investment is the chi flat iron. If you do not have wild crazy hair such as myself ( I know in the pictures it is really straight but I have been flattening it since I was in the 6th grade, I am a master!!!!) you can run this baby over your hair a few time and it will be stick straight and shiny, you can even flip out or under your hair with it, you are supposed to be able to curl with it too but I have not figured that out yet. They cost about $150 but I think now a cheaper ceramic one is out.
Ok sorry long winded...
LExy

> he is drop dead geoourgeous I'm not sure this EMDR is going to work with me..had my misgivings about a male and now he is just out of a magazine..not sure this will work...
Maybe if you get nervous about this appointment, you can try the age-old remedy for nervousness before public speakering... just picture him in his underwear. Uhh... no, wait... nevermind...

It's crazy....so I just try to keep the reigns a little tight and pray.4th and 5th grade girls and boys are "going out" now - and the parents are driving them to the mall or the movies or whatever. When I was that age, girls thought boys had "cooties" and vice versa. LOL
