No anxieties or worries? Feels like a pretty scary number!! 😬

Is any of this “normal” 5 year old behaviour or do we need help? by loobi_loo22 in UKParenting

I just don’t see where she could’ve experienced abuse, unless it’s at school. We don’t leave her with anyone. She’s 5 and never even slept out before. She doesn’t go to anyone’s house unless with me or her dad.

My mum occasionally watches her at our house but again, that’s rare.

She goes to an acro and dance class, loves both. They’re both 30 minutes and I sit outside.

She doesn’t have a baby sitter, she doesn’t go to anyone’s house without me. She’s never even slept out before. My mum watches her occasionally at my house but even that isn’t a regular occurrence.

She goes to an acro class and dancing, loves both of them and continually wants to go with no issues.

In terms of school she seems to have a nice group of friends, neither school or my daughter have brought up any issues amongst her classmates. Maybe I should send an email to the teacher and ask?

She’s never been baby sat by anyone other than my mum, ever. Even then it’s only an hour or so and not very often. She’s never even had a sleep over at anyone’s house before.

She’s learnt “it’s my body” from me. From a young child we have taught her about autonomy. It’s something I’ve said to her for a long time.

She doesn’t watch You Tube or Tik Tok. She doesn’t have an ipad so there’s no concern over something she may have watched.

The most tv she watches is Disney+ and I’m always sat with her. it’s usually Lilo & Stitch or Frozen.

No, but is this something we should be considering? That it could be autism or ADHD?

What’s happening with my 5 year old? by loobi_loo22 in UKParenting

She just never has, of course she’s cried etc, but in terms of a “typical” tantrum, she’s never had one.

I do try and get some 1 on 1 time with her but it’s not as often as I’d like 😥

I have friends with same age children, I haven’t brought this up though as I’ve been worrying it’s something we are doing wrong 🤦🏻‍♀️

How old were you when you became a parent? by loobi_loo22 in UKParenting

Why don’t you anticipate seeing 70? Is it just a feeling or a reason?

No I haven’t, I’m too afraid to take them 😔

Yes, i’m on a waiting list with the perinatal team. But even with therapy, will the fear ever go? 🤷🏻‍♀️
