Voices

I don't have specific experience with "voices," but I do have a daughter the same age who is definitely imaginative (she tells me all about her "school day," in believable detail--which she does not go to school), so I wouldn't be at all surprised if she is just "pretending." You know it's not that uncommon for children to have imaginary playmates that they treat as though they were real, wanting a plate set out for them at dinner, etc.--especially if she's an only child. I would be extremely careful about what she watches on tv and see if it diminishes. My 4 yo is very very sensitive even to "G" rated movies that have scary parts, and she definitely picks up on things said in the movies, tv (and other kids).
I wouldn't make too much of a deal out of it because that would reinforce it, but you could calmly ask her about who the voices are or what kinds of things they say. You could treat them like you would another child saying those things--like "well, he/she doesn't sound very nice to me, why don't you stop playing with her, you have nicer friends" etc. Let her know she has some control over them, in a way.
If this doesn't help, then maybe I'd ask a professional opinion.
Let us know how it goes!

Hi, my name is K....has she seen any movies that you know of that had that in them? Otherwise, it would be rare that a 4 year old would make something like that up. have you tried talking to her about what the "voices" say? also, she may be upset about your ex leaving...kids act out in strange ways sometimes. talk to her about it...if you really think there may be a problem, take her to your family doctor, who may want to refer her to a child psychologist. i am studying psychology right now, and that is what i would personally do if my child were experiencing the same thing. hope that helps...

ok this sounds big. i dont blame you and your ex. just to be safe i would ask her ped. about whats going on and if he or she says take her to another doctor maybe you should. she may have found a way to get her self out of trouble, maybe someone really has said something like that to her and now her just replays it in her head or maybe she really does hear voices. i guess its possible! remember childrens minds are so much more open then ours. hopefully she is ok. if she really does hear the voices then your gonna have to tell her all the time that she is a great daughter and that you love her. over ride he voicecs i guess!! well i really do wish you the best of luck!!!!!! :) i would like to hear how things turn out! <3 A.

Hello! I am the mother of a child with sphrenia. I can tell you first hand that alot of what is watched on television can become a part of the child. They will talk about what they have saw in TV. It might become a name or person. It could be a very scarey experience. But there is alot of help out there I have found out over the past year that there is resources everywhere and take advantage of all of them. It will help you so much. You need to take her to a medical specialist and have her evaluated and then you can get resolution. As far as your fiance he left because of him nothing to do with you or your child. You have to take care of your child. He is a grown adult and should be able to handle the situation and be able to take on responsibilities of his own.
