[QUOTE="Daniella, post: 699648, member: 20815"] Im having some of the same problems. My son will be 4 yrs old 2 wks and has some of the worst impulse control most educators and therapist have seen. I watch him struggle everyday to just to do simple tasks. He is a safety hazard from constant running away. Becoming violent with everyone, and has breakdowns daily because he cannot control his emotions. Sometimes i have to hold him in my arms so he can fall asleep for naps or bedtime because he cannot stop moving. Hes very intelligent with a great memory too. Very sweet with a big heart saying he wants to be good a good boy but he'cant stop' is what he says. He has been to 2 different schools in special education and they practically begged me to put him on medication. We have rules and consequences at home. With lots of postive reinforcments (good by charts,rewards,etc.) But i cant get through to him he has been going to Occupational Therapist (OT) once a week for 6 months plus school 4 days a week. Im terrified of putting him on medication, but unsure if im hurting him more for not considering it when everyone is telling me he needs it. Any advice would help Thank you. [/QUOTE]
