She refused to be toilet trained until around five and screamed about inappropriate touching when she had to be changed.
She is scary smart and graduated college at twenty and went on to get a masters in chemical engineering. She was accepted into a special program in Germany and they paid for a six month stay just to learn the language first.
Just to say that your granddaughter still has a chance.
