I think she is telling a story. Usually, Schizophrenia does not show up until the child is at least 12 and sometimes older like 18. The signs are talking fast and not making a lot of sense (mainly lots of words that do not make sense together). People with Schizophrenia a lot of the time will have a high IQ. I worked for out-patient mental health as a transcriptionist and seen a lot of Schizophrenia patients coming in. Sounds to me that she does not want to take responsibility for her actions and she has come up with an excuse as to why she behaved that way. She wanted the chair and she bullied her way into getting it. If she is hearing anything, it is most likely herself. She needs a preschool with structure and routine. I would sit her down and tell her that what she did was very serious, she is not to do it again. Be serious and look her in the eyes. Do not let your child control you and her preschool daycare. She is trying to get attention and trying to out smart everyone around her.
Thanks for the advice. Bu i want to add that she is very very smart and she amazes everyone when she speaks. Some of the things that she says is not what you would expect from a 4 year old. Also her dad's side of the family have a history of schizophrenia and other illness! I am just so worried about this. If there is any thing else you can help with please do! Thanks
