[QUOTE="Malika, post: 519233, member: 11227"] Hi and welcome. Sorry to hear of the difficult times with your son (it's clear from what you say that he is your biological son, right?) I do agree that you have to start getting serious help and evaluation - 4 is not too young and this seems clearly more than sibling rivalry. It could be ADHD or it could be ADHD plus other things (often is) or it could be something else. And you may not know for sure for some time or even years. It sounds to me like - and really I have no expert opinions, particularly compared to some people on the forum - your son is emotionally below his age. He is very bright intellectually, perhaps, but his social and emotional age is not on the same level. One would not be so surprised at a 2 year old behaving this way. And it is often said that ADHD children, for example, are about a third below their chronological age in terms of maturity. I do not know concretely what your next step is, not living in the States, but you need to start getting this taken seriously and getting evaluations and tests underway. Very best of luck. [/QUOTE]
