My (nearly) 3 year old is extremely tired for the passed week or so. She's whiney and irritable. And twice this week has crashed early at Daycare, and ends up having a morning and afternoon nap. She's going to bed a 7 and waking up at 5 (as per normal), and isn't waking at night. Any ideas?

This morning I had my usual happy girl back (sigh of relief). She didn't give us a second of uphill getting ready for school. And when I dropped her off I got my hugs and kisses and big waves goodbye - no temper tantrum.... Thanks for all the advise mom's - I think the growth spurt seems to be the winner!
Will continue to keep an eye - but hopefully the sun is coming out again....

they do cut teeth at that age at the back and that can be worse than a youger baby cutting teeth they do get irritable but if you're concerned definately take her to the doctor.

It could be as simple as she is getting ready for a growth spurt but just watch that she isn't actually ill as well.

Low iron?

She is quite possibly low on her B vitamins. This happened to my friend and she put her on a Cataplex B vitamin and it solved it. Cured the tempertantrums and everything. So I would just check it out and make sure she is not having any other problems as well. I would defiantly talk to your doctor about it.

Exposed to so many germs in daycare, could be Mono.

If this is out of character for her, I would definitely take her to the doc. Extreme tiredness can point to many things, including diabetes like the other ladies mentioned.

I agree if she is irritable and tired this could be a sign of diabetes. I would really take her in because if she isn't usually whiny then this could be a concern. Good luck.

The others are right could be growth spurt or etc, if it continues much more than a week I would check her our with pediatrician' In day care could be a bug. My daughter had Mono at 6 yrs old. go figure!! wouldn't hesitate to check with doc at any rate.

My k3 year old has been the same way and I honesy think the time change and a possible growth spurt are to blame. givehe a little longer and see if anything might let up some.

Is she thirsty/drinking more than usual? It could be just a growth spurt, however extreme tiredness is also a symptom of type 1 diabetes. If there is a family history of diabetes, or if you are simply concerned about her, get her checked out by a doctor.

I would talk to the pediatrician! Give him/her a call. Maybe they can say something professional that we dont' think about! Maybe it is just a phase?, maybe she is more active lately?, maybe there is something else?, so I would call the doctor.

My son went through a particularly whiny/bratty phase about the time he turned three. It lasted about a month. Looking back I can see there was a lot going on in our lives at the time and wonder if he was acting out based on the mood(s) the rest of us were in. (He transitioned to preschool, I didn't like his teacher, my mother-in-law was in hospice, we were a mess!)
Likely a phase. Especially if she is just getting over an illness/cold. Also wondering if it correlates to daylight savings time (if you live in one of those areas.)

She did have a cough for about a week and a half - was having to give her cough mixture 3 times a day.
She eats really well at school (less well at home).
But maybe it is just a growth spurt...lots of people have said that.
But seriously - the whining is driving me crazy! She wakes up whining!
She doesn't seem lethargic or anything....just really bratty.
Maybe it's terrible two's.......

Growth spurt? Getting ill?
Make sure she is getting all she needs in terms of vits - diet is critical - lots of water
If it is still happening in another week, take her in

Could be a growth spurt. That sucks the life out of them. It would be a good idea to talk with your pediatrician about it though. She has gone through many growth spurts by now, and usually a mom knows how they act by then. Yup...call the ped about it. No sense in NOT calling. But it IS great that she is sleeping through the night.

Probably just a stage. A possible growth spirt. My son is normally a very active child and a night owl but occasionaly he's the same and sleeps more than usual. But if you're worried talk to your doctor.
