[QUOTE="JulienSam, post: 156810, member: 4575"] husband & I have been commenting over the past week & half how much better Sam's behavior has been. Fewer explosions, less hitting of me. Then today his preschool teacher said he had a wonderful day. Drop off went well last week & today (compared to him hiding, crying, not wanting me to go). I've racked my brain to figure out if we've done something differently at home & can't come up with anything. No diet changes. No eating or sleep pattern changes. We did have an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation last week for sensory issues & the results came back that he's sensory-seeking and emotionally reactive. He starts hippotherapy (horse therapy) next week -- a 1/2 hour with- the horse & therapist, then 1/2 hour in the clinic with- therapist. We have an appointment with a new psychologist tomorrow -- this was made after our appointment with- a psychiatrist made it clear he wasn't the right person for us (medications, medications, medications, with no other options discussed). I almost feel silly going in -- what if this better behavior is permanent? Or what if it isn't? I guess Sam still has some issues to work on, and his dad & I still need some support on how to better deal with him at home. We also have an appointment in July with a pediatrician. neuropsychologist for an evaluation. We're on the list in case there's a cancellation, but I'm willing to wait because I've heard such good things about this guy. So normally I feel like I'm walking on eggshells waiting for the next explosion to happen, and now I feel like I'm walking eggshells waiting for this better behavior to disappear. I'm just hesitant to enjoy it because I feel like it's not real... Have any of you been there done that parents gone through this? Julie [/QUOTE]
