[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 132344, member: 1550"] 1-2-3 Magic is often not very effective for difficult children. Since you got a sort of so-so diagnosis., that in my opinion isn't that useful, I'd take your child for a neuropsychologist evaluation (these are very intensive). I personally haven't had any luck with regular psychologists. They don't do any tests and mostly seem to just guess and tell us to do things like 1-2-3 Magic, which again often don't work. I'd want my child tested in more detail to try to pinpoint weaknesses and strengths. "Anxiety" alone is kind of an "iffy" diagnosis. That's one of my biggest diagnses, but it very rarely stands by itself. It is most often caused by something else, like mood disorders, autism spectrum disorder, LDs, etc. How was your child's early development? Any speech delays? Look at your family tree. Any mood disorders or substance abuse on either side? Any neurological disorders? I would try "The Explosive Child" while your still looking for an answer. It's a pain in my opinion to keep fighting with an unwilling child to sit in a chair. My son used to throw his chair halfway across the room...haha. We got a lot of improvement after we got a much more accurate idea of what was going on with him, then we could get him appropriate help. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
