[QUOTE="Tracy0197, post: 554791, member: 15322"] I am new to the forum too (just sought it out today) and feel like you just described by 5 year old! We are just starting the process of full evaluations, developing an IEP, etc. None of this was going on before he started Kindergarten either - it was like a light switch got flipped from low level defiance (doesn't always want to do what the adults say) to full blown opposition, anger, aggression, and severe attention seeking behavior. My husband and I are so lost. Our Kindergarten class is small too - 16 or 17 kids and at least 2 teachers, but they claim that is too busy and that they have too much to focus on with the other kids (just a cop-out, in my opinion), and we are having trouble getting them on board to try anything (other than paddling, which we forbid them to do. My husband struggles to interact with our son now, as well - loses his temper and can't give our son the positive interaction that he so desperately needs. I am interested to see what comes back on the neuro-psychiatric. We've heard that once or twice, but there are none in the area, so we are trying to work through the steps to get referred to one, even long distance. [/QUOTE]
