What should I do with my daughter?
I have 3 kids,ages 10,6 & 2,I am having a little problem with my daughter (2nd to the eldest).She's a very hyperactive child,at her age & gender she should not be doing such things like his brother.
At school,her teachers are complaining,about her behaviour,she likes climbing on high stairs,explore things in dark places,never stay in one place in their classroom,very talkative & insist on things that at her age she supposed not,she got so many questions that requires immediate answer.
At home,she never plays dolls like her cousins,she likes puzzles,lego,basketball game with his brother & do biking.Its very unusual for me,she got the opposite attitude of his beother,who's very quiet & shy type boy.
I have a relative which is my aunt,& my older sister who we called as TOMBOY,do you think this type of acts runs in the family?
I am working here abroad & I can only see them every 6 months,it's my whole family who look after them.
Thanks for the advise!
She is just 6.Her mom is not with her,she has more potential then other kids,she needs to use it,and she should.Don't worry ,she would do all the girly things when she would be 16 or 17.As long as she doesn't have some destructive behaviour,or serious academic problems do not worry.She does not need a therapist just some encouragement.She is a 6 year old child ,let her be a child.
modo is very right.. it is normal.. and just cz she craves adventure doesnt make her abnormal or weird or anything.. just different character.. she doesnt have to be shy and dressed up and playing nicely in order to be a "girl"... jumping around and enjoying the mysteries are very intellectual!
Do not suppress her at all.. encourage her to be curious to want to learn and know more..
you can give a good counsiling to her. Sometimes she can,t stay without you ,so pls counsult a counsilor and try to realise what,s wrong with her
ok take care ,
The suspect the child is very intelligent and is bored, lego is far more interesting than dolls. She should be encouranged not discouraged. Just because she is a girl does not mean she has to conform to "girly things" My neice was exactly like this and went on to be a Doctor.
It is quite common for the middle child to need a bit more attention. Nobody should make her feel she has a problem.
Aaahhh...just chilll its realllyy fyn....ma own sis used to do da same...she was completely tomboy....it happens coz the kids like behaving dis kinda....wen she will grow up forsure she will a gr8 lady like u....we too were quiet upset bout my sis but trust me if u see her noww...goshhh u feel she is da only single girl in our family...lolz
maybe you would like to refer your daughter to a neurodevelopmental pediatrician... the team will help you know better what are the underlying causes of certain behaviors of a child...
