[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 8439, member: 3388"] Becky, You have been given so much helpful information already, that I can't think of much more to add. I'm new here too. I wish I had found this site when my children were younger. Anyway, reading your post brought back really terrible memories of life with difficult child 1. I really understand how you feel. Although difficult child 1 and your difficult child are different in some ways, my difficult child 1 screamed his way through his infancy and, as a toddler, if he didn't get his own way, he made life a living H*ll!!! I also tried to talk to my pediatrician. He also told me that difficult child 1 was just a difficult child. He basically dismissed my concerns. When difficult child 2 was born, I noticed that he wasn't reaching any of the developmental milestones. Again, I tried to talk to my pediatrician. Once again, he dissmissed all of my concerns. At this point I had had it!!! Fortunately for me, my babysitter's mother worked at a different pedi's office. She highly recommended this particular pedi - her own kids were two of his patients. She got me in to meet him right away. He gave me the same information that Ltlredhen has given to you. The services provided by Early Intervention in my area were fantastic. I brought difficult child 2 to the center 3x/week for PT, Occupational Therapist (OT), speech therapy, and group therapy. (Unfortunately, difficult child 1 was already over 3 yrs old and unable to be evaluated or receive services from EI). The only additional advice I can think of that I don't think has already been mentioned, is that if you're unhappy with your pediatrician, maybe it is a good time to find another one. Don't be too hard on yourself. Kids like ours can drive anyone over the edge... Please find time to take care of yourself. Let those closest to you help you. Wishing you peace... WFEN [/QUOTE]
