[QUOTE="Christy, post: 150692, member: 225"] Welcome to the board. You will find a wealth of information and overwhelming support here! I feel your pain, my son was a nightmare at school. I was so tired of constantly dealing with problems created there. My solution is not for everyone, but we decided due to my son's special needs, to homeschool. It works wonderfully for us and has elimanated much stress and allowed me to be less of the enforcer and more of the parent. Others choose to leave school issues at school and focus only on issues that come up at home. Another suggestion is to read The Explosive Child by Ross Greene. He provides lots of info on avoiding meltdowns in the home and keeping the peace. This will benefit the entire family. A thorough evaluation such as a neuropsychologist evaluation can shed some light on your sons isssues. Information on a neuropsychologist can be found at a local children's hospital. Many will caution you here, that if your sons issues are more that ADHD, there is a strong possibility that stimualnt medications such as concerta will make the problem worse, ie, less ADHD but more agitated and explosive. Good luck in finding the answers to you struggles. Post often and let us know how things are going! Christy [/QUOTE]
