[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 240016, member: 805"] Hello Doodle and welcome! I'm not familiar with the military health system/insurance, but we do have a number of members who are. I'm sure there will be some follow up shortly. First thing we like to recommend here is that you get a copy of The Explosive Child, by Ross Greene. There's an amazon link here on the site, or contact your local library and see if they have a copy. It's kinda the difficult child bible around here! Second, hold in there and be strong. You may have to use some of the old tried and true methods of making sure he doesn't meltdown at the drop of a hat. Advance time warmings, making sure he understands behavior requirements and consequences going into every situation, get down on his level and make eye contact, make him repeat your instructions, stuff like that. Your son sounds like he needs a complete evaluation (multidisciplinary evaluation) by a pediatric psychiatrist or neuropdoc. Make sure you express your thoughts and concerns about potential dxs. When you say "you've seen the report" are you referring to the parent report? You say that your son is homeschooled but I also notice in your signature that you are a full time student. Are you an online student? If so, sounds like perhaps you might some respite with your husband being gone. One of my closest friends has a daughter who has two children and her husband has been on active duty a couple times. The army has been really helpful to her regarding swap child care services and such. Perhaps you could get some time alone! Again, welcome to site. Glad to have you here. Sharon [/QUOTE]
