This has been a long, hard road. Almost 5 yr. old daughter appears incredibly bright...others have told me to test for giftedness. We have some successes, then we'll have boughts of intentional soiling.
She was trained at 2 and was very successful...then had horrible trouble w/constipation wich lead to the initial witholding/dread cycle. There may be sensory issues as she was always afraid of public bathrooms...even as a baby she would cry when the toilet would flush. She says going potty is bad and doesn't want to do it. She has said she is afraid it will hurt yet she'll wind up going a very large, unhealthy #2 and think the world of it.
I think a behavioral problem has developed but I also think her #2 issues though definitely centered around her need for control are also stress related. She was doing so much better until being at my mother-in-law's this past weekend. Now it's like she is 3 yrs. old again yelling and screaming about going potty.
Aspergers has been ruled out...behavior plans have failed (she gets bored) and now she thinks she should automatically get something when she does decide to go like she should.
I am tired and feeling devastated. Her dramatic response these past few days are indicative of something much greater because b4 last weekend...though there were still some issues...things had really improved overall. |
