He actually was a great easy going kid until about 3 or 3 1/2. I never could understand it. After doing some research the whole Dabrowski's excitabilities totally fit. About 5 months ago we had testing done and determined that he is a PG and how different his mind works. He still gets annoyed at things and started to become agitated just this morning when his cereal bar was crumbled upon opening it. He almost didn't eat it since it wasn't whole.
That was my dd at 3.5-4.5 - even with the cereal bar. She'd even get cranked if I opened up the bar packaging "too much" and then refuse to eat it. Lots of times her expectations didn't match up to reality and she'd flip out a bit. Some of it was sensory related, and we worked on sensory therapy at home and I enrolled her in ballet too.
After much searching online I came up with enough material to create a
kid's problem solving binder to help identify feelings and emotion coach my dd. One of our favorites was "I can use my words".
Just thought I'd throw this out there because it really did help her.
