[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 440865, member: 47"] You don't say on your sig what his diagnosis is, but to be on the safe side I would have taken him in - if nothing but for a record. Would bet at 8 he may know exactly what he meant, and you don't want to test a theory that he doesn't - especially if he has any impulse control problems. I would also choose words very carefully when you talk to him - saying ok we are getting help because you are "out of your mind" may not be the ones to choose with an 8 year old. And I definately would not be getting his younger sister involved in any discussions other than to tell her older bro has problems and you are trying to get him help and leave it at that. At 5 years old, and a easy child, you may be putting fears about what her bro would do and start a lot of anxiety. Marcie [/QUOTE]
