What Could Cause Constant Crying And Being Stubborn In A 3 Yr Old Child Suggest?
My three year old cries all the time. Once she starts, it can last an hour or more. Ignoring her upsets her more and so does putting her in time out. We've tried distracting her with something else but that usually gets her more upset too. Family members are starting to notice her fits and are asking me how long this has been going on and encouraging me to have her evaluated. I'm not sure where to go from here.
