Guest guest Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 I am very glad to have found this group and appreciate everyone sharing their experiences--it helps. My dd is 4 years old and has recently started experiencing strong needs for confessions and tons of intrusive thoughts of a violent or sexual nature. Initially, it was incredibly disturbing and scary for me but getting a little bit more of a handle of knowing what we're dealing with is helping bring my own anxiety down a little. We've been working with her at home while we were on giant wait lists for services but finally got a call yesterday for an appointment with a psychiatrist at the local children's hospital, but it's not for a couple of months. It breaks my heart to see my tiny, sweet girl plagued by these thoughts. At the end of each day we talk about our best and worst part of the day and she always says that her worst is her thoughts (sometimes she throws in another everyday 4 year old disappointment like not getting something she wants). Transitions are hard for her and we're already looking at how we're going to deal with kindergarten next year. I look forward to reading more about everyone else's experiences and especially hope to hear more about parents with really little ones with this. Thanks. -Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
