I had posted a thread back in July because our doctor had implied odd tendencies because of an exam gone bad. At the time difficult child (newly three) has some defiant tendencies at home but had no problems at school. It seems as though the doctor's words were a self-fulfilling prophecy though. difficult child's behavior is getting worse and worse. He seems so angry. He can not stand to be told no and will usually scream and lash out physically at me or my husband. He is also physically aggressive with our neighbor (2 yr. little girl) but at the same time says he loves her and calls her his sister. At school, he was put back in the 2/3 class because he could not sit still and stay focussed in the 3/4 class at the beginning of year. He started being defiant in the 3/4 class...refusing to nap and screaming and running around the room, throwing blankets while others tried to nap. He's done much better back in the 2/3 class however that teacher has expressed concern because he looses his temper, screams, throws toys and occasionally hits other children (but only when provoked). What he gets upset about seems pretty normal for a 3, its the velocity of his emotion and physical aggressiveness that worries me. He has an appointment with a therapist who uses play therapy on Wednesday. Have any of you had experience with play therapy? I'm hoping she can help him better control his emotions and express them in more positive ways as well as give my husband and me some help in working with him at home. I'm just having a really hard time worrying that something may be wrong. Thanks for listening/reading
