[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 547111, member: 14356"] 1) Yes yes yes to the neuropsychologist evaluation. It can only give you more insight into what will benefit your son and it will also help you get help at school or with Occupational Therapist (OT) or any other services he may need. So I am a 100% yes to that. You'll also find out what his strengths are and it may help you look into using those strengths to help overcome weaknesses in other areas. 2) No it's not you. You're not a bad parent but there are definitely some children that are much more difficult and challenging than others. I'm so sorry that your mom made you cry. If it helps my neighbour told me my son would end up a psychopath if I didn't get a handle on him - I think he was 6 or7 at the time and not all that much of a difficult kid. This woman had an autistic child and I would have thought she'd be more understanding. MWM said it very well when she said that our kids can hold it together for shorter periods of time with other people but feel free to let it all out with us. It is definitely a compliment, unfortunately most of us would rather not receive that one. 3) When my difficult child was younger I made a list of consequences for common offences. It was right there on the wall in black and white. First time you get a warning - second time consequence. This helped a lot at home. Now that my difficult child is older - well, I wish I had answers for that - disrespect is pretty much the only thing that comes out of his mouth right now. Hmmmm, maybe you shouldn't listen to me.
