HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It would be best to seek the assistance of a child psychologist or psychiatrist for assistance. He or she would be able to speak to your granddaughter and determine if there are any issues to be addressed.

It is possible that social services may refer your family to a psychologist or psychiatrist.

I hope the situation is resolved
