[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 83149, member: 1233"] Hi. I have some suggestions. If they work, go for it. If they don't, or don't seem good, ignore me. I really think your difficult child needs a much more thorough evaluation. It does no service to him to let him go untreated. I know he had zoloft and that it has been stopped. Zoloft would not even be on my personal radar of medications if my son acted this way. Your difficult child, like many of our kids, is emotionally much younger than he is chronologically. He can pretty much be expected to act several years younger than his chronological peers. If you would go to [url="http://www.loveandlogic.com"]http://www.loveandlogic.com[/url] and listen to some of their free downloads you might get some ideas about how to help/handle him. Dr. Fay is an absolute riot in person, and his downloads make some really good points. You can get a good idea of what they are about and then they have books if you care to follow up. We have had TONS of luck with this. I do think that if he is mad about what you are doing, you are doing it right. You may have to learn the phrase "Do to Get." Many of us do this. If our kids want something, they have to earn it. Even from us. OUtside the basic mattress, food and clothes, you are required to provide your son with NOTHING. Have him do chores to earn $$ to pay for his own things. And for all those luxuries we parents provide. I think some of this might help, but that your son won't truly be able to reach his potential unless you get him some medical help. Not saying medications are teh answer, but a more thorough diagnosis by a team of docs would help a lot. Check out the archives for Multidisciplinary evaluation. Also check out Parent report in the archives. Hugs, Susie And family therapy is a good idea also. [/QUOTE]
