Hi-
My name is Chris and though I have been a member for awhile I have not posted or really been on the site. I am having alot of problems with my depression and concentration lately so forgive me if I can only give basics right now. I would appreciate any advice.
My difficult child is my son, Thomas. He is 6 and in first grade. He has an IEP which is doing nothing. He sees a psychiatric (or actually, I have been seeing him and telling him how things are going)and is on tenex. There is no doubt in my mind that he has ODD and we had a major blowup yesterday where he was throwing objects at me while I was driving and was verbally abusive to me.
He is behaving badly in school-everyday he is arguing with the teacher, refusing to do things, etc. My heart breaks for this child but I am at the end of my rope. I have 2 older children and would never in a million years have thought that I would have a child like this.
I have a call in to the principal now and want a meeting with him, the teacher, the psychologist. I also want another IEP meeting. I realize that I have to get proactive with this. I hope to God I have the energy.
Thank you all in advance for any help.
