[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 334264, member: 2423"] Loralyn, welcome! I'm glad you found us, but sorry you needed to. As tictoc mentioned, we do recommend a full neuropsychological evaluation (private, not school-based) before you go the route of psychiatrist and medication. That's because symptoms of childhood disorders overlap, especially in younger children, and some disorders don't need medication, but instead require intensive interventions. Neuropsychologists can be found at university teaching hospitals and children's hospitals. While you're waiting for the evaluation, you might want to pick up a copy of The Explosive Child by Ross Greene. It has helped many of us here parent our extra-challenging children. Again, welcome.
