[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 504977"] Confused, You are doing a great job! You're listening ideas and staying open to "other" options. THAT is going to help YOU. Personally, if he's kicking a door or "damaging" things, I'd pick him up and put him in a "damage free" zone (his room) saying (in a calm but authoritative voice) only "No damaging MY property". That way he knows where your boundaries are. If he kicks his bedroom door, let him, but if he actually does some damage, he has to "work" to pay for the damage he's done. That should be your rule for damaging ANYTHING (except his own toys, then they are just gone and not replaced). I know he's only 5 but that's the natural consequences. Make the work age-appropriate but make it "work" for him. I am sorry you are not getting the help you need from professionals. Have you tried just TELLING your pediatrician that you WANT a referral to an Occupational Therapist (OT) and neuropsychologist? You shouldn't need a referral for a Child Psychiatrist because they are also doctors but yes you need one for a neuropsychologist. Find a Child psychiatric in the meantime. When your son throws the stuff about his dad at you simply reply "I'm sorry he does that" and not another word. It might make your son wonder for awhile. If he ever asks you why you said that, tell him that by dad doing what he does, he's not doing his job as a parent which is to teach his kids what they're going to need to learn before they become adults and you want them to be "good" adults and parents and not ones that get into trouble and sometimes go to jail. Tell him you are doing your job the RIGHT way. Don't know if that will help but it does with my kids. [/QUOTE]
