She has cochlear implants, so a little different situation, but I've had Deaf friends tell me that hoh/deaf children are naturally stubborn! My daughter is such a handful lately. She wants what she wants, when she wants it, and if we don't comply, her temper tantrums are awful. I don't know if its due to her age, her deafness, or just her own personality, but its tiresome. You could always try to get her aided and see what happens. I agree with previous poster, exposure to sign language may make a world of difference. If the nursery is crazy busy, loud, visually overstimulating, it makes total sense that she's tired in the afternoons and if she has to put forth a ton of effort into hearing/listening, I think sign language would help.</p></blockquote><p></p>
