[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 455727, member: 1550"] Hi there. Your son is not acting like a typical three year old (I've raised five of them). I suspect that your loving Mom Gut has already told you that. BUT...there is NOTHING good to come of beating him into submission. I wouldn't even spank him. It isn't working and all it does is show him to hit people when he's angry. You need to disregard anyone, even your parents, if they think a good beating will do the trick. I recommend having him evaluated by a neuropsychologist. Schools can test to see if he qualifies for early services (which can be helpful). You will get a better picture if you take him to a neuropsychologist as well. How is his development coming along? Do you or his biological father have any psychiatric problems on his family tree? I agree that it can take several years to get the right diagnosis, but you can at least see where he is deficient and how to deal with his triggers. Early intervention yields the best results and gives your son the best prognosis. by the way, the most common first diagnoses are ADHD/ODD. They are usually NOT the final diagnosis. though. I personally do not believe he can help or control his temper and something is probably going on with him that can be helped with the right assistance :) [/QUOTE]
