Hanley and I have come to the conclusion that compared to other kids, Maddy has a tendency to fixate obsessively on things.
It started to be obvious with the iPad. Before we weaned her off it, she would be obsessed with the iPad, to the point that her behavior just got really ugly. Yet other kids on iPads or exposed to phones, YouTube or Netflix don't really have the same issues.
Then small other things like watching Barbie Mermaid on Netflix. It started out before as just a weekend thing, then she started wanting to watch it every day. Then recently she'd make a scene and throw a tantrum at 11pm asking to watch Barbie Mermaid, refusing to sleep!!! you know how I managed to put her to sleep that one night at 12midnight she was still crying? I had to carry her, sway her in the dark, with her sobbing, while I recounted THE ENTIRE MOVIE aka storytelling the whole movie until she fell asleep.
Then with her Dutch Milk also before, she refused to try other new drinks. We just weaned her off DM, so now she's on Chuckie chocolate milk, and she refuses again to try other drinks.
Nakakaloka. Obsessive kid. Hanley said seems to take after him, since he has a tendency to obsess as well, like over certain watch brands, material items. He's the type to buy six pairs of shoes from the same brand or model one after the other if he's really into it. Now it's shades and bike stuff.
