[QUOTE="busywend, post: 390485, member: 391"] The professionals are NOT helping you enough. Traditional parenting is not going to work for this child. You will have to learn a whole new world of parenting - and you can not just do it on your own. Sure, you could trial & error for years....but I think you want to help him now. So, learn the appropriate parenting techniques for this child. Try to imagine how frustrating it would be to have all these people around you that are much bigger than you, seem nice enough, but you can not connect with them or talk to them, or get them to understand you at all. Imagine being completely different than anyone else in your entire world. While you watch everyone else connect and laugh and smile and communicate. Try to imagine what life is like for him. Wouldn't you climb walls & be angry & frustrated? I would. So, that was a small peek into understanding what it is like to be different like your son. You have a whole new world to learn about. I guarantee in 3 years you will look back and appreciate learning what you will learn in the next weeks & months as you try to understand him. Hopefully, you have decided to discontinue the act of spanking or even disciplining as you would a typical child. It is not going to work. Through all previous conceptions of parenting out the window. Start over with THIS child's need for parenting. It will be completely different. I am trying to drive it home, because it is a hard concept to accept - and often times we need permission to sway from the norm. You have permission. IN fact, it is a requirement of being this child's mom. [/QUOTE]
