I had the same symptoms as a child and it did turn out to be a tumor. It is still there because the risk to take were to great. It started when I was 11 or 12 . I am 32 now so dont getstressed about it being a tumor. Watch her motor skills as well. When cutting paper for some reason it would happen to me as well. A simple CT scan can find it but dont start there. First check vision and sinus tract first. Again there is cause for concern but if you get scary responses on here dont freak out and just follow the steps until the problem is resolved.

Maybe she is just disagreeing with u alot!?\n\nNo seriously, my daughter used to do it.  As long as she is developing normally, i.e pulling up to stand, trying words etc etc, I wouldn't be worried, my daughter grew out of it.\n\nIf your concerned see your paediatrician.

Yes sounds like it. My daughter has it and is now on medication. The Medication these days are fantastic. From the sounds of it you will be able to get it under control and when you are old enough you will be able to drive if it is controlled. One useful tip I thought was great, when you have a bath(which it is not uncommon to have a fit with the heat) tie a small string around you big toe and the plug, and if you do have a fit you will kick the plug out. Good luck for the Future   By the way please don't let the first answerer scare you. It is very rare for this to be dangerous.If you take the right precautions talk to the epilepsy foundation they will be able to help you too.

this is not odd at all, many kids have experienced this and lately even many more.\n\nit's obvious to me that the little girl you describe is an INDIGO CHILD.\nhttp://www.theindigoevolution.com/index.html\n\nor even a CRYSTAL CHILD\nhttp://www.thecrystalchildren.com/crystal.html\n\nthese children can talk to angels or to their kind spirit guides \n\nwhich in both cases is great! means the little girl is very evolved and helpful to the planet. there are many now.\n\ntell the mother not to feed this situation with fear and narrowmindess but to look into the terms indigo, or crystal children.\n\nhope it helps!\n\n----------------\n\n"Most children have the ability to see beyond physical reality, especially in infancy. It all goes to conscious awareness on different level. \n\nIt's interesting to watch an infant's eyes as they follow something/somene in the room that is not physically seen by anyone else. Infants often laugh and respond to whatever they are seeing which may be the spirit of the person who guided their soul into physical reality and is familiar. \n\nYoung children often have imaginary play friends - especially when there is no one around to physically play with. These 'imaginary friends' actually communicate with the child. Generally the imaginary friend/friends are harmless and the interaction ends as they child's physical consciousness slows down and gradually creates a pattern of returning to the physical body and staying at a lower level of frequency in order to function/perform their daily tasks in 3D. The older you get - the more grounded you have to be. \n\nIf the young child - generally below the age of 5 - is having fun with the imaginary friend they are attracting - then things are positive. If the child is apprenhensive or displays fear - professional help may be needed for the child. "

It was very weird. I was fishing in a row boat about 3am in the morning in a creek. I was reeling in a fish, then all the sudden I wasn't in the boat anymore. I was in a clearing in the forest and covered with grass. It was some time later because the sun was starting to come up. I looked at my watch but it was dead, and I figured it must have been about 2 hours later. What happened during that time from being in the boat to waking up in the field is a mystery, but sometimes for no reason I get a flash. I think the flashes are from during that time, the feeling that I'm very cold and my body moving around but I'm not telling it move.

Are you home schooling her? If so, I have provided some links with some ideas that may help her?\n\nIf not, you should speak with her teachers to see how your activities at home can help their activities at school. Reading her stories at night and then having her read them is a good idea.

It sounds like a virus that seems to go away,but instead lays dormant for a few days. There's not much that can be done for this except plenty of bed rest and fluids. During the times that she's not feeling unwell,make sure she's still taking it easy so as not to weaken her immune system.\n\nJust saw your daughter's age-I'd get her straight to the doctor's,there is a real danger of her becoming dehydrated. Does she also have a high temperature? Keep a check on this and sponge her down from time to time with cool water. She may also have a food intolerance,such as dairy-so tell the doctor you want her checked for this. Don't ask-TELL. You know your daughter better than anybody.

Faith, Honey, faith. I am so sorry for your loss, but she does hear you as does God. Whenever you are out, do ever see something out of the blue that she liked? Sometimes they let us know in very subtle ways. It can be in the smallest things that we take for granted every day. You can see her in the innocent beauty of a childs smile or a picture of a snow-white dove. A rainbow or a picture of a rainbow. Whenever I need to know that God is hearing me, I ask to see a rainbow or a dove and lo and behold, I will see one even if I'm not looking for it. Look for her in everyday things that make you feel warm and happy and you will find her. She is watching you from above. Also, being as you have found Yahoo Answers, even if it was before your daughter passed away, you were brought here for a reason. God knows that you need friends now and you have found friendship and hopefully comfort here. We are like a family here on YA and we do our best to support each other. If God was not listening, you would not have found your way here or to any other means of comfort and support. The people here on YA are the best and some of the most forgiving, caring and loving people I've ever had the pleasure and the honor to meet. Keep your faith and know that your daughter is in the arms of Jesus now and he feels your pain as we do as well. You are in my prayers and if you need to talk, you may send me a message. I'm a mother too and I know how strong a mother's love is. Don't worry, God is in control and you will meet with your daughter again. Just look around. She is in every flower, gentle breeze, every act of kindness, in every beautiful sunrise and sunset but most of all, she is in your heart forever. God bless, sweetie. I'll pray for you, we all will.

Many years ago, while I was in my late teens, I married a man my family hated. We lived in my uncles old house, no plumbing but we did have ele. One night, after putting my daughter ( 9 months old ) down for the night and going to bed myself I was awoken to a banging noise from my daughters room.  I went to her and cracked her doorway just a bit and found her sitting up in the middle of her crib laughing and babbling. Her crib had been moved from one side of the room to the other side, next to a window. I thought I was dreaming and couldn't understand how she had moved her crib. I moved it back . then I went back to bed only  to be woke up again about 30 mins. later  Again I found  my daughters crib on the other side of the room with her babbling and laughing. This went on for near 2 hours. Finally I was woken up with a voice telling me that I was hungry. And for me to get my baby and go get a hotdog. The third time this happened I got my daughter wrapped her in a blanket and started out the backdoor. My husb. was telling me that he would go get us some food and that we were to go back in the house.  By this time I'd had enough and wanted out of this house right then. I got in the car and refused to get out. My husb. had no choice but to get in  and drive us the half mile to the rest.. We went thru the drive thru aqnd went straight back. When we got to the begginning of our road the sky was lit up as if a ufo was above our house. The closer we got the more we could see what really was happening. Our house was burnt down to the cinder  blocks house. We had been gone only 20 min. The fire department, my uncle and aunt  were standing around crying because they thought me and the baby was inside.\n   If that voice hadn't woke me up when it had, we would've been inside.\n  To this date I firmly believe in ghost and Angels.

You can never be sure. She may have just heard something somewhere and may be repeating. Children do learn quickly.\n\nIf she goes in to more specific details and she is consistent in discription then may be she rembers some of her past life. Even in that case do not worry. It will pass. Most children forget it themselves as they grow up. Memories fade out.

things will be fine. sometimes we have dreams like this. they happen to make us "wake up" into reality and realize what we have in life and to learn to cherish it. also the are to help us learn to be more careful in what we do in our lives. just make sure your daughter has learned from the experience she had in the dream and you as well and your middle daughter have lessons to learn from it. the spirits on the other side have certain ways and things they will do to get you attention to teach you something you need to learn. some are warnings and if you take proper precautions she will be fine. but do not confine her or change he life so much as to suffocate her. the spirits are just telling you a coded message. i dont know the details of the dream and how the pertain to you or what is or has or will happen in specifics. but you do and your daughters do. do not panic, just let the story soak in and it will naturally change what decisions you all make. blessed be!

There are certain forms of petite mal seizures that are "adolescent" meaning they are outgrown. My daughter had "absent seizures" from age 4-8 then outgrew them.\nYou need to ask your Neurologist about your specific type of seizure.

I answered a question very similar to this a few days ago .... I've put part of that answer here as well ....\n\nThe first step is to talk to her (calmly) and to her teacher to see if you can figure out what is going on.  You may need to get her to talk to the school guidance counselor if her school has one.  You can't begin to fix this until you know the reason for the change, and you probably can't fix it without involving other people.\n\nObviously something has changed somewhere with your daughter's life. Children don't suddenly change drastically in their behavior and in their approach to school. Neither do children suddenly become "lazy". We need only watch kids playing or doing stuff they like to do to realize they are not lazy. \n\nSome things you might check out are whether she is being bullied at school, for example. Is she happy at school? How does she get along with her teacher? Her classmates? Has she changed schools? Has there been a change in her life at home? A separation? A new baby? Is she hanging out with a new group of friends who don't care about good grades?  In order to address this problem, you need to find the cause of it. \n\nAnother area to think about is that there is often quite a jump academically from one grade to the next, especially into high school.  Kids are expected to be much more mature in their apporach to school and learning in general as they get into high school.  She may be having a difficult time adapting to that change and to the different expectations.\n\nShe is 13 - so hormones may be beginning to take over.  Pay close attention to what she does when she is using the computer.  How much tme is she spending on line, using the telephone, watching TV, video games, etc.?  Is she getting enough rest?  Does she seem tired or disinterested?  Has there been a change in other behavior, as well as in her grades?   Has she been losing weight?  YOu need to know all this to figure out exactly what might be going on.\n\nMy gut reaction is that there is something going on that you don't know about ... what you have described is not typical, and you should get to the bottom of it and find the cause. Yes, sometimes teenagers rebel by doing things that can cause a lot of aggravation for parents, but this change in your daughter seems rather drastic. \n\nI hope some of my thoughts have helped you.  Good luck.

my daughter does something similar to that. when she gets hurt she passes out and looks as if she is having a seizure but it is actually vasovagal syndrome. A condition when the person is psyched out or hurt triggers their vaso vagal nerve and causes their blood pressure to drop and pass out also can cause trimmers that look like a seizure and they can loose control of body functions too.  I believe your child might have this..read up on it and talk to the doctor...my husband has this too..he was misdiagnosed when he was a child and was treated for epilepsy instead then finally one doctor figured out what was really going on...good luck to u and your daughter.

Yes I would believe her. Why would she say that, where could she have gotten that idea to begin with.\n Children especially at that age are very open minded, they are not yet clouded by the beliefs that these things are not possible.\n  I personally believe in ghosts, have seen people I know and those I don't know. \n  Who can rightly say that there is not another plane of existence that unless we open our minds in invisible to us. \n This child is blessed by having her loving grandfather pay visits to her.

I am assuming here that your daughter is in her teens but even if she is older it is in everyone's hearts to show their parents that they are independent and capable of making decisions for themselves. Any efforts by you to tell them they are wrong can only drive them harder to prove they are right. I think it is time to let her ride this one through. No matter how much your heart aches to see her obviously making a mistake, you are going to have to bite your tongue and put some trust in the good things you have taught her. If you have done right by her and taught her well she will come to her senses...  Fighting her will only push her away.\nTough call I know, but again... have trust in the values you have taught her....
