[QUOTE="Malika, post: 420504, member: 11227"] Rose I am sorry for your situation... the stress... the daily battle... What does one say? I wish there were some magic solution for everyone!! Yet the eternal optimist in me does believe that things CAN improve with these children, and not just with medication. The usual question: have you read "The Explosive Child". Why is your daughter only violent at home... discovering the answer to that could contain some keys? My son is also much "worse" at home than anywhere else - my instinct is that it is to do with structure. The other environments he is in where he is relatively well behaved, principally school, are very structured and he always knows what to expect; I think this relieves his anxiety and therefore his acting out or up or whatever one says... I believe my son is very anxious even though he presents as happy and sociable most of the time... Is your daughter anxious? Does she need to have constant warning of change, does she find any change very difficult? My son also has low iron and ferritin I have just discovered and this is interesting... Is there any avenue to be explored there? That you so obviously love your daughter and have some sense of humour (sorry, humor to you :-) ) are points of real light in the darkness... [/QUOTE]
