[QUOTE="keista, post: 451964, member: 11965"] Welcome to the board! Sorry you have to be here, but you did find the right place. First, I know it's 4 months off, but did you schedule the appointment? If not, do it. If you find another sooner, you can always cancel, but get an appointment. If someone else cancels, they may get you in sooner. Second, if he threatens himself with a toy, you can call 911 and get him into a hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. This WILL end up with a sooner rather than later follow up appointment with a psychiatrist. Yes, threats have a wide range, from the ones you really don't believe (he's just venting anger), to he's in a rage and actually has a sharp jagged edge of a toy up at his neck and you are not able to talk him into putting it down. Some would say to call 911 on ANY threat. But DEFINITELY call 911 if you are truly afraid of what he may do. Ya think? Sorry, sometimes the things counselors say make me wonder what rock they've been under. The Real question with your son is, what is driving those rages? Have you read the [U]Explosive Child[/U]? By Ross Green. It's considered the most helpful book on this forum. Might find some useful information in there. School might be good for him because there is a structure to it that most parents can NOT duplicate at home. School staff can also be very instrumental in identifying issues that parents don't even consider at home. Others will be by with their 2 cents. Welcome again to the board. :notalone: [/QUOTE]
