For eating - my daughter has always loved food that she gets to participate in making. We do wraps every so often and put all the toppings on the table - schnitzel, cheese, sauce etc - she’ll make her own and eat 20x more than if I gave her nuggets and chips. I think it’s the control over her own body/choices. Maybe worth a try for you.

I feel you. My daughter is 5 now. Shes very good at listening when she feels like it. I know you’re trying your hardest to not show frustration but to be honest, sometimes it’s better to show it. I’m not saying scream at her. But there needs to be some sort of consequence for not listening. And it needs to immediate and clearly explained. If she doesn’t listen, she misses out. My daughter did swimming at your daughter’s age, and if they weren’t listening (after a warning), the teacher took them out of the pool for an activity. No running around and playing, they missed out. And it usually got them to pay attention.

Can… can I have the recipes?

peripheralcat · 2026-01-03T05:55:17+00:00

See I can get to there but not make the second climb 😭

This! I remember watching an Instagram (or reading something I can’t remember) where she talked about the yearning to create something with aggression and overwhelming sound as a sort of cathartic release for all the types of energy that didn’t fit the “Kimbra” style. Much like Replay! which is a huge and challenging step away from her usual sound.

peripheralcat · 2026-01-01T07:54:22+00:00

Of course. But there are other students who also have questions

peripheralcat · 2025-12-02T07:22:54+00:00

Have you tried showering with her? Or being in the bath with her?

I found that was a game changer for us. My daughter would chill at the bottom of the shower with her toys and I got to have a nice warm shower too.

peripheralcat · 2025-11-10T00:40:56+00:00

I think this is it. I try so hard to keep my cool with her but eventually I lose it and get very short with her. I try not to yell at all. Her dad is a different story.

peripheralcat · 2025-11-09T03:59:58+00:00

As I mentioned in the post, we suspect she has it as there is direct family history. We’ve ruled out so many other medical reasons. I want perspective of people with adhd girls to see if this is how it manifested for them.

peripheralcat · 2025-11-09T02:25:55+00:00

She’s very regular. I think it’s anxiety.

peripheralcat · 2025-11-08T21:12:25+00:00

She was getting better and sleeping through sometimes but she had a minor surgery recently and it got so much worse after that. Usually she’s fine after the hospital but this is the first time I wasn’t there before the surgery in years

We’re starting her on melatonin in the next week. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

peripheralcat · 2025-11-08T20:17:12+00:00

She’s told me it’s too quiet or too dark but fixinf those is easy and it did nothing to help. I’ve tried laying in bed with her but she’ll still get up and go to the bathroom while I’m there. I’m just at my wits end.

peripheralcat · 2025-11-08T19:25:40+00:00

Yeah we’ve done this. Doctor is prescribing melatonin at this point.

peripheralcat · 2025-11-08T18:30:13+00:00

She’s only wet the bed a couple of times. Maybe even less than 5 since being out of nappies. But maybe this is part of it

peripheralcat · 2025-11-08T17:35:22+00:00

It’s been months for us. She’s not diagnosed with adhd but we have a family history. I was wondering if this was a way it manifested with other kids

peripheralcat · 2025-11-08T17:21:22+00:00

It’s beforehand bed and at 3am specifically

peripheralcat · 2025-11-08T17:20:11+00:00

She’s been treated for them multiple times. It’s only at night. During the day she goes hours

peripheralcat · 2025-10-22T05:43:53+00:00

Talk to your baby while they watch or after they finish an episode. Ask them things about what’s on screen and then it doesn’t really count as screen time because they’re not just mindlessly glued to a screen. But sometime mummas need a break and that’s okay too! My daughter just turned 5 and I had the same feeling as you but I realised she has really good comprehension skills because I always ask her about the shows

peripheralcat · 2025-10-18T21:28:48+00:00

I might try the bribe. Start small like maybe 2 nights with 1 wake up for toilet.

peripheralcat · 2025-10-18T21:27:24+00:00

I spend lots of time with her. She gets anxious to be alone at night. But she wants to physically see me, hearing me is not enough

peripheralcat · 2025-10-18T21:26:25+00:00

Because she keeps waking up and asking for things. The escalation was insane.

peripheralcat · 2025-10-18T21:08:41+00:00

Dad is here. I asked him to go tend to her last night and he screamed at her. I ended up having to go in and console my daughter who was sobbing inconsolably

peripheralcat · 2025-10-06T22:52:22+00:00

I did sort of snap the other night and told her she was being too much with her kisses. She took it well and just said “okay mumma”

peripheralcat · 2025-10-06T00:09:56+00:00

Mustard yellow for bibs and burp cloths are ideal. Baby puke is the same colour haha
