[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 452052, member: 11791"] Was he in pre-school? Or will Kindergarten be his first school experience? The reason I'm asking is, if he went to preschool and the behaviours showed up in the last year, there is a reasonable possibility that your child has issues that cause major problems at school. These could be a very wide range of things - from sensory to motor skills to learning disabilities to developmental disabilities to mental illness to whatever else. But for some kids, the structure of school reveals some critical weaknesses, and the kid is bright enough to be aware that he cannot make his brain and/or body do what the other kids do... and some kids drop like a rock. Really fast. On the other hand... if he was NOT in preschool, but the behaviour had a noticable starting point, there may be other issues lurking out there - have you used babysitters, for example? time with extended family members? etc.??? I don't like to point fingers on this one, but there could be a remote chance of sexual interference with a kid this young - and if that is the case, major behaviour problems would not be unusual. DO NOT TRY TO FIGURE THIS ONE OUT BY YOURSELF. It takes trained child-sexual-abuse counsellors to work it through with a kid this young. In fact, I'm not sure I'd even "go there" at this point... get some of the basic evaluations done first, and see if these explain what is going on, and whether the interventions have any effect. But if those fail... you might need to explore this possibility. OR it could be as simple as some other major trauma (even a car-accident, for example) that has set off a chain of events. In which case, PTSD might be at play here. Rage issues? The key is going to be to figure out WHY. Because you can't put out the "rage" fire while the experiences of life are continuing to pour fuel on the fire. {{hugs}} Sorry you had to find us - but glad you found us early! He's young yet, and you have time to work through the issues. [/QUOTE]
