Hi,

Just wondering if anyone can help me. My 3 1/2 year old daughter is constantly complaining of pains in her arms and legs and has been for about a year now. I was informed this was probably due to growing pains. Just recently she has also been complaining of headaches, almost daily. She is still very active and these headaches and pains most often seem to occur first thing in the morning and late in the afternoon.
She has been through a difficult time with witnessing abuse in the home and her father being removed by police. She now has had no contact with him for about 6 months.
Could these symptoms be pschological and a cry for attention?
Hope someone can advise me on what action i should take.
