Why Is My 5 Year Old Taking Sticker's off Everything

Comparing kids is kind of pointless - none of my kids are similar and developed at different rates and hit milestones at different times.

However, if your gut is telling you something is off - write down your concerns as B suggests, and take to your pediatrician (as you have here) and go over them. List examples.

Does she go to school? Talk to people who interact with her - who have experience with other children. Get their take on things. Take that info to pediatrician.

If then you need to have her evaluated further, you have this all documented.

Waking at 3 am is not typical, but not unheard of. Mine didn't - slept through at that age. When you say talks like a 2 year old - do you mean she does not have vocabulary? Then you should be addressing this with pediatrician and perhaps speech therapy is required. Some kids need help. One of mine went to speech therapy.

We can't diagnose your child obviously - best thing to do is trust your instincts, and talk to the person who can best guide you - her pediatrician.

No one on the internet is going to have any idea what is going on with your child.
Write down your concerns, video behaviors that concern you, take it all to your pediatrician.
If he suggests a behavioral evaluation - take him up on it and show the therapist everything you showed the pediatrician.

What ever the evaluation turns up - work with some specialists so you have a good tool set for you to deal with raising a challenging child.

By age 5 most kids have had preschool or start kindergarten. Does she attend school at all? I would see about getting her in a structured program and see how she does with other kids and a teacher.once in a program you will be better able to see if she's closer to normal or closer to needing a professional evaluation for a diagnosis.

What are the stickers she pulls off that destroys everything?

Why isn't she in kindergarten or
preschool? A teacher is a good resource.

The only person who can diagnose your daughter is her doctor. If he thinks autism is a possibility he will refer her to a specialist.

I suggest you read Love and Logic to find ways to discipline when what you've done isn't working.

I wonder how stickers can destroy things. Kids her age love stickers. My granddaughters have put stickers all over their bed on paper and a few toys. They rarely pull them off. If the sticker is old it's difficult to get them off. Give her stickers and a place on which she can stick them.

If your daughter has never spoken in 4 or 5 voice there is a problem just in itself. I urge you to take her to a doctor.

If she like stickers, get her stickers. Put stickers on stuff so she can take them off for fun.

As for talking like a 2 year old, don’t respond to her until she talks like a 5 year old. Make her repeat what she says in a big kid voice or just ignore her.

Swimming is good, will make her really tired. She might not be getting enough physical activity needs lots of activity or is taking naps in the day.

I didn't like my kids taking naps because then they would be up all night.

Get her into preschool if she's not in school yet. Sign her up for kinderkick (little kid soccer) or evening gymnastics or swim classes a few times a week. At that age my daughter did dance and soccer and swimming. Every day walk out in nature or to a park. For example every evening take a walk after dinner -- have her walk or ride a scooter, etc. Go a couple miles. Tire her out. Tell her you cannot understand when she talks in a baby voice and to say it again in a big girl voice. Have her help you cook. Have her help you load the dishwasher. Have her wash the windows or sweep when you are cleaning. A bored child with too much energy is going to get into stuff and destroy stuff.
