Normal Behavior In A Three Year Old Posted: 05-26-08 17:24pm
I recently had a lovely couple stay here
with their three year old daughter. It
has been pretty chilly, down to the 60's
and the child was playing in the dirt with
nothing on but a diaper. She was
barefooted and I was concerned because she
was playing beneath a lot of rose bushes.
Then, upon my verbal concern, the parents
said, oh, we always know where she is. We
can tell by her cry of annoyed or
concerned. Then the father goes and picks
her up. The little girl had gotten into
the swimming pool which was cold.
This little girl will not look directly at
you, ignores any kind of response to
talking to her. Even today when they
left, she turns away and will not speak to
you. I have never seen a child like
that.
What are the symptoms of bipolar disorder?
Something seems very wrong here but I do
not know what to do. They are very loving
parents and treasure this little girl.
She is theirs not mine. The mother said
that her own mother used to worry about
every little thing and was overprotective.
Maybe this is her way of not putting that
trip onto her own child. I don't know.
It worried me.
Does anybody have any advise as to what
could be the cause of her behavior?
They also had her in a public park
yesterday, again barefooted. I would be
so afraid she would hurt her feet. I
touched her feet and they were really
cold.
Thanks.

She might possibly have a form of autism.
Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder
characterized by manic (high)states where
you feel really good for awhile and
depressive states. As for the barefoot
thing, parental preferences vary. I
personally would have one of my children
wear at least socks while playing outside.
At a park, shoes. You could bring the
topic up gently by inquiring as to the
shoe size of their daughter and buy her a
pair of fuzzy slippers and when asked you
could say, " I saw these at the store and
just adored the little bunny heads,
perhaps your daughter would enjoy them as
well"

I felt her feet and they were really cold.
She kind of just drapes herself over her
daddy like a little exhaused person. She
is so sweet. I really don't know them as
they were staying her and met them for a
short time.
They call her their little hippie.
Thanks for the information.
