[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 547107, member: 11791"] Repeat after me: "I am not a bad parent. I am not a bad parent. I am not a bad parent." Oh ya. Haven't we all been there done that?!! Dealing with "disrespectful"? Well... in one sense, I don't. There are literally dozens of ways to have a "meltdown". Disrespectful is one of them... and mild, at that. But... there are dozens of red flags. So, I had to learn "what comes before" any of these red flags. And for me? more than half of it boils down to one of: 1) tired 2) hungry 3) overstimulated So I no longer allow him to get tired, or hungry, or overstimulated. At least, we plan our lives that way. Things still happen, but not nearly so often, and we know what to expect when it does happen. Because we head things off BEFORE we get "there" (whatever form of melt-down)... we don't have to deal with "it". The reason for seeking a more complete diagnosis is that it may give you more answers about what you are dealing with and how to approach various aspects of parenting this child. It also helps (usually) with getting school accommodations and interventions. [/QUOTE]
