I have a 4 year old daughter. She is very sensitive both emotionally and physically. If any small physical hurt happens, she gets very dramatic about it. She cries easily. She doesn't seem to be able to calm herself down or sooth herself. Some days she'll go through a situation quiet well and other times the same situation will make her break down. She seems quiet mistrustful of the world. When ever she leaves the room she ask me to protect her toys or her food. I am not sure from what (maybe her little brother?) She scares easily. Doesn't fall asleep unless I am in the same room. She is just now getting used to not always being in the same room as me because she won't "know where I am." She is quiet emotionally unpredictable. She cries over little things that most kids her age wouldn't cry about. She seems to have bad impulse control as she regularly snatches things she wants from other kids. She seems socially a little slow. She is slow to adapt to new people. She is also a little slow in being able to draw or write letters. She is very verbal and caring.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? I am just beginning to look into this, but it seems maybe she has sensory issues? I am planning to take her to the family doctor and ask about it. ADD runs in the family so I wonder about that. I would appreciate any insight, advice, or recommendations. Thanks!
