[QUOTE="becklit, post: 163026, member: 5395"] Hi. I'm new here too. Just joined yesterday. Your story sounds sooo familiar. Only now my son is almost 6. Our dr. did not really have any concerns when he was age 3 either, but I instinctively knew something wasn't "normal". At age 4 we had him evaluated by through an early intervention program and they were not a lot of help. They basically said "keep an eye on it". Now we've experienced a really tough Kindergarten year (behaviorally--academically he's way ahead) and are no farther along on solving the problem than we were 3 years ago. My advice to you would be to be relentless until you get some help and some answers. I wish I hadn't been so passive when he was 3. Good luck. My heart goes out to you. I know how exhausting it can be. Let me know if you just need somewhere to vent. Sometimes it helps, especially when there's other parents in your everyday life that just have no idea what you're going through. Side note: We ALSO have a 2 year old that is mimicking his behavior.
