I have a 3 year old daughter who sometimes behaves very calm and sometimes cries a lot over very small trivial issues if things are not according to her wish or desires. For eg she is very particular about certain things like if abc things belong to her father or mother or sister then she will not let any other person use them. If she desires something and you don't give heed to it then she will repeat the same thing again and again till her voice is her heard. On academic front we believe she is able to grasp things well. She can write a to z, and 1 to 50 counting, remembers n recalls number of things like colours shapes animals birds and what not. She is very shy and is afraid of lot of things like ants (she will not walk on the floor), blood (she will not even look at the wound. Instead she gets very scare), on seeing new born babies she gets scared and doesn't go close to them etc. If we shout at her in high pitch or complaints or instructs not to do a particular thing she immediately starts crying. If my younger baby is playing she will immediately grab that item and will not let her play at all. She cries a lot over trivial things. She is very shy. When she was a little kid she used to cry whenever new stranger person visits our house. Now she doesn't cry anymore when looking at new person but she tends to shy. She will not let anyone touch her things. Similarly she will not let any other person use things which belong to either her father mother or sister. She is very hesitant in trying out new things for example eating a new biscuit or cake or any other item which she is not familiar with. If we tell her that we will bring xyz item in the evening or tomorrow, she will not wait or understand instead she will request that item then and there. What to do. We are worried. Is she normal. Is she suffering from any type of disorder.

First of all, as you describe your child has a good grasping and hence appropriate development and good iq. What you are facing right now is a part of temper tantrums, which are often seen in children starting between 1-2 years of age and lasting till 3-4 years. The other thing I noticed here is that you have another younger child also, younger than the 3 years child. Quite often it is seen that when you have a younger sibling, while the older one is not yet very mature, the older one gets insecure and behaves strangely to get your attention, becomes possessive of toys, gets stubborn or cries over things. About the shyness, well now as she grows towards the preschool age, she becomes aware of herself, likes to dress up, notices others, understands response, has selfesteem as well as understands embarrassment. Plus, with the pandemic, a these children have been confined to their homes lately, rather than going out and exploring and getting new stimuli. Doesn’t seem like much to worry medically, but you definitely need to consult someone to make a few behavioural modifications and positive enforcements to take your child on the right track. You must be doing your best beyond doubts, but a little help from someone who understands child psychology will definitely help.
