[QUOTE="SRL, post: 386800, member: 701"] Hi and welcome. Since your little guy has had problems holding it together in multiple settings and school is on the horizon, I seriously think you should have him evaluated by a developmental pediatrician or neuropsychologist (depending on what your insurance should cover). You'll want to get on it right away, because waiting lists are typically around 3months out for first time appointments and longer in some areas of the country. Make an appointment with your pediatrician. Most like to send you to a counselor, psychologist, or psychiatrist first. Push for the two specialty areas I mentioned. Personally I'd stop with all the advice for handling strong willed kids until you have a handle on what could be going on behind these behaviors. Take a look at the thread at the top of this board on adapting The Explosive Child for younger kids. Can you pull him out of school for now, or is it needed for childcare purposes? Restarting school when you have a handle on what's going on and when there are teachers in place who are equipped to deal with his issues often makes a huge difference.
