[QUOTE="Gincie, post: 166033, member: 5415"] Hi! Thanks for your imput. To answer some questions, I am adopted, so I have no medical history on my side, I (so far!) haven't had any issues with depression or ppd. On my husband's side, his mother was hospitalized when my husband was young and swings from highs to lows, although isn't in treatment. We are not in contact with his father's side of the family, so history is pretty sketchy at best. My son actually has been extremely verbal, stringing sentences since he was a year, no hearing issues. His pediatrician is great, so I will speak with him and see what he says. There is a boy at school that seems to be a cohort for being really physical. They won't be together at preschool next year, so maybe that will help. I'm setting up playdates with some of the calmer kids. Of course this is the friend that he wants to hang out with! He does calm down when I remove myself. I'm trying really hard to ignore more and disingage when he melts down. I do get angry though and have to take my own timeouts. He knows how to push my buttons. I have told him to ask for a hug if he needs it (from me) instead of hitting to get my attention. When I ask him why he hits his friends he says, " I just wanted them to play with me". I've explained why this doesn't work. Sorry, I'm rambling. I will work with him and the dogs. The dogs are a bit wild too, so that doesn't help! Now that the weather is better all of us can be outside so much more. Thanks again for all the imput! [/QUOTE]
