[QUOTE="vdoeinck, post: 515028, member: 14146"] I have a 3 1/2 yr old son who we have just recently come to a solution on how to handle....and it sounds like your son is a lot like mine. I really wanted to run away most days...and I have no other children so I can't imagine how hard this must be for you. We started my son in an early intervention program to help with his behavior issues. After a couple of months of that we decided that since we were doing everything the way they told us to and his behaviors weren't changing that there has to be a reason he acts this way, not just "testing" us. So I took him to see his pediatrician. and he was diagnosed with ADHD there, then I took him to an Occupational Therapist (OT) for an evaluation for sensory processing disorder (SPD)...he has the sensory seeking type. If you're not familiar with sensory processing disorder (SPD) you may want to read "the out of synch child" It was very eye opening for me and explained so much of my son's behavior. His Dr. prescribed a medication called Kapvay for his Adhd and impulse control/aggression. Now after only 5 weeks on the medication our life has become so much easier. He is also going to occupational therapy once a week for the sensory processing disorder (SPD)....the more he learns to use his senses properly, they will develop more, and he can begin to respond appropriately to the things / sounds/ stimuli around him. I'm not saying your son has any of these things...just that it's worth looking into. My son was getting incident reports almost every day from pre-school and I was afraid he'd get kicked out if we didn't do something soon.
