[QUOTE="latelaughtermoon, post: 232948, member: 6636"] "he should be pointing you towards some practical ways to change your parenting" This is the most knee-jerk response to your problems I can think of - run away from your endeavors. No, no, no. If your daughter is doing well it's not just because of medications, right? Pat yourself on the back for dealing this far with such a hurtful and annoying problem. Kaiser gives medical evaluations if you were to go directly to your main doctor or pediatrician and request one if your psychiatric isn't cooperating. Been there, done that - our first just flat-out refused to let my son (now diagnosed with bipolar disorder, what do you know!) see a psychiatrist. We changed to another, and in a few months he was on medications. Always remember that you are not necessarily are a bad parent if your kid is a little off - whether it be those fits, tics or blips. ALL OUR KIDS HAVE THEM! Some are just a little more present and conflict-stirring than others. What about your daughter (who you mention is doing fine, congrats)? Or any household pets? Does he treat her or the animals poorly, or is it a target thing? You might consider that if you haven't already. It sounds maybe like a problem with authority, but you haven't mentioned much about the relationship with his father... Don't give up, it's not worth it. :peaceful: [/QUOTE]
