[QUOTE="braydensmum, post: 341500, member: 9016"] OMG! what you have described here is exactly how my son has been behaving this past week. Brayden started kindy last Monday and immediately commenced this behaviour. He has been in daycare from the age of 5 mths and the transition to "big school' has brought on this. He also has never really been an angel but timeout does work really well at home and the promise of treats and outing after a good day at school didnt work for me either. I took him to my paediatrian who diagnosed him with ADHA/ODD over 18 mths ago. Braydens ODD/ADHA has been controlled previously with behaviour managment, but this past week we have tried Ritalin. I'm not sure I like my son being on this medication but I am giving it a few weeks to see if there is any change. I have had to pull him out of school as he has bitten three teachers, head butted a child , trashed a classroom and constantly has lashed out at other children and running past and slapping children. The schools only suggestion was to bring him in for two hours a day. I was informed by the school counseller that there is an early intervention program for children with behaviour problems to do with transition into school , they can sometimes start mid year. Early intervention schools are government funded and they have behaviour managment specialist programs . If you hear of any thing else that has help pleae let me know as i will you. Im not sure I have helped at all but i was really blown away reading your post as it is as if im reading about my own son. Thanks Karen p.s I didnt mention above what a loving and precious child Brayden can be and is most of the time. [/QUOTE]
