[QUOTE="Lucky1, post: 85289, member: 4178"] Thanks to all of you for your kind suggestions. It's nice to know there are others to commiserate with when needed [img]:smile:[/img] I had just ordered the book, The Explosive Child, and it should arrive today. Just to clarify my above info, we did attend two sessions with a psychiatrist, following our end visits with the psychotherapist. The psychiatrist recommended our son be rx'd with Lexapro or Prozac. My hubby completely disagrees that medications should be given to our son. Part of that, I blame on the media and the mention of a child being on an antidepressant and then commiting suicide. I know the percentage of that is extremely low, but we also don't want our son to be part of that. As for school, child does pretty good. Currently he is all B's and kind of does what he needs to get by. He has ALWAYS had good conferences with teachers and they never have problems with him. He's compliant at school, but generally treats us like dirt. However, one concern I have is that he's not very social at his own level. He will play with much younger children so he can control and dominate everything. When it comes to kids his own age, he's not as eager to partake. I don't get it!! I practically forced him to take Track just so he could enjoy the commeraderie of team sports. Lastly, one of our biggest concerns is how this son interacts with our other son, age 6.5 . Older son would be just giddy if younger one fell off the face of the earth. Older son goes out of his way to be cruel and demeaning to his brother 95% of the time. If the four of us are out, say at a mall, the older son feels like he's in charge of younger one and CONSTANTLY tells him what he's doing wrong and that he's such a pain. I never dreamed parenting was going to be this hard! [/QUOTE]
