Hey everyone. This is my first time starting my own thread or asking for help here, but I desperately need it as I am at a loss.
DCG 3 has been with me for a little over a year and a half. She's always been near perfect when it came to potty training, napping, eating, etc.
She is, however, nonverbal so we are unable to ask her what's wrong or why she's struggling.
Lately however, she has been refusing to nap here and her parents struggle to get her to bed at night. We know she's overly tired and that's affecting her normally sweet behavior, but lately all we get are tantrums for her and downright refusal to even shut her eyes.
The few times we do get her to nap, she's been wetting herself. She had been full potty trained since she was a few months past 2 years old, so this is really out of the blue.
Parents have said nothing has changed at home and they are at a complete loss. They set up a doctor's appointment tomorrow as they are worried something might be paining her physically and she's just unable to tell us.
But then, why would this only affect her during nap/bedtime?
I guess I don't even know what I'm asking specifically other than if anyone has ideas of what I can do to help her or what could be going on with her. I've never had to deal with this before.
