[QUOTE="Matty's Mummy, post: 240448, member: 5222"] WSM, sound like youve been through the wringer. no one ever tells us how to get things to change except to give him more positive reinforcement, more and more attention, etc... meaning, just love your kid and treat him nicely and he'll be fine You situation sounds really frustrating, we had similar thing with difficult child 1. In that all we heard was give him more praise, some days that was a huge challenge. Hope your s/son gets the help he needs really soon. Its really frustrating thanks for letting me know I'm not alone in this, thought i hate knowing others are going through it all to. Marg Arh the Full elimination diet, sounds too hard. Matt is fussy with food, not sure that would work out. Also it helps in a sense to because it doesnt take much to work out what is upsetting him. While we were at my mothers 2 weekends ago, Matt didnt have one meltdown! In 3 days, this is big he usually melts down a few times a day. husband and I wrote down what he had eating, the focus was more on what he hadnt eaten. He hadnt had yogurt, bread or sausages. The bread and yogurt he eats daily, if we dont hide the bread he will only eat that, he craves it wanting slices with nothing on it. difficult child 1 was a lot the same with bread. When Matt was around 2 years we seen a program on children head butting, something Matt had just started, they suggested that the possible cause could be 282 found in bread. We gave it a go and within a day no more head butting. A few weeks later husband picked up the wrong bread, we only realised when Matt was being aggressive and crying for what seemed like no reason. We never brought bread with that in again. Anyway Matts behaviour has been perfect ever since, well until yesterday. We have kept him off yogurt, bread and sausages, until last Thursday. husband gave him sausages. Everything was ok, but I thought to that some foods take a few days and some build up over days of eating the to get a reaction. So we gave them to him the next night all fine Friday. It wasnt until Saturday we started. He was generally cranky in the same frustrated way, he used to be. So needless to say no more sausages. We will leave him again for a week, then try the yogurt. Than the bread Its so nice to se Matt just being able to play without the frustration. Also if asked to hope off the computer, he is fine, hopes off. The Matt before going to my mums he would cry and scream swear we havent seem anything of that. This belabour stuff I think is separate to the other quirks?? It also could just be that he knew he was starting school and its a bit of a developmental mile stone? We just dont know. Well well just keep going with it and keep to his usual diet and add in those few things and see what happens. But Ill be more careful.
