shopping what a nightmare!

4littleavengers

Went shopping today and what a nightmare! i knew it would be i warned my daughter all week that sat was going to be shopping day. The trouble started before we even got in the car she kept saying i don't want to go in a loud screaming voice when we eventually  got going harriet decided that she needed the toilet and couldn't wait she screamed i'm going to wee myself so i had to stop at the side of the road. When we got to the shopping centre she ran off refused to hold my hand. Harriet is 5 and i have three other children aged 9,7 and 2 my other children are not perfect but know when to behave . My husband asked her to hold his hand and be a good girl she shouted and started kicking and hitting him. I went into a book shop and harriet layed on the floor pulling the books off the shelfs i try to stay calm and get on her level but its like talking to a brick wall she just grins at me i feel powerless. Harriets not yet been diagnosed but her pediatrician suspects aspergers i end up in tears begging her to behave but its like she just looks straight through me. I love her so much but its hard very draining at the minute i feel like i'm walking around like a zombie. xx

  • Thank you both for your advice your right it's best harriet isn't made to go shopping it upsets her too much and puts me on edge. One thing i have noticed when we go shopping and she has a melt down she screams and asks me to tell people to stop staring at her it really stresses her out i took her to the book shop has a reward for going shopping harriet loves books she is only 5 but she is fantastic at reading. Harry only started school in sept but soon got moved into year one which really unsettled her. I went to an assembly at school last wk i was sat watching her she couldn't sit still one minute she was chewing her jumper then biting her nails then picking her nose then biting her lips then biting her fingers she looked so lost just staring at people. Feel in limbo at the moment because we are still waiting for a diagnosis i think once we have that we can put things into place i think i worry about treating her differently to my other children incase iv'e got it wrong. Sorry about going on x
