I have a 3 year old with possible sensory processing disorder or oppositional defiant disorder and I am pregnant with baby #2, due in September. I’m in need of some major reassurance right now.

We currently have our daughter in behavior therapy and we are doing everything we can to work on minimizing her aggressive behaviors. We have been potty training and she is regressing with her social skills. Pulling other kids hair, hitting, major tantrums and screaming at strangers in public that try to talk to her. I’m so worried that the adjustment with the new baby will be so rough on all of us but I’m mostly concerned for the safety of our newborn.

She does have a lot of sweet moments as well and she is a smart girl she just does not do well with change or large group situations.

Has anyone dealt with a similar situation and how is everyone doing now? I need some support from other mammas that have dealt with this! Any tips are also very much appreciated.

Thanks so much for reading. 💕
