Thanks Dottie.
She is home with me and her two and a half year old sister, but does attend pre-school three days a week for a few hours.
The behaviors that can be challenging for me are her intense energy, constant talking, swings of emotions, and wanting high levels of stimulation. She is receiving OT for sensory seeking and perhaps that is our answer, but I do still wonder if I am seeing ADHD, giftedness,or something else with the go go go go go go motor. She also has a gap between her cognitive skills / language and her gross motor (catching balls) and the type of fine motor skills required to dress herself (though her drawing, writing, and sculpting playdough is wonderful). She can do third grade science and reads at a very high level, but cannot put her own shoes on for instance. She likes preschool when they are singing, dancing, and doing some structured activities, but is highly annoyed by doing "academic" things that she mastered three years ago. She has started acting out during free play and lashed out at another child. She is very gregarious, but really hasn't clicke with the other kids until recently when she seems to be bonding with a sweet little girl whose sister is gifted.
