your period really has no way of directly affecting the behavior of others but your own behavior may be very effected. in other words you may have less tolerance to behaviors that you would otherwise ignore. hormonal fluctuations can definitely affect you and your ability to cope. i know this seems like an odd coincidence but i suspect that your five year old has the same behavior whether you are on your period or not. is is possible that you give her less personal attention during these times? five years olds are intuitive and may detect changes in your behavior and react accordingly.
