[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 442788"] I would very highly recommend you find a child psychiatrist. Peds are great but this is what a psychiatric does. He deals specifically with the mind. I would not trst any pediatrician to have enough knowledge of mental health issues to deal with them effectively. Having a strictly physical doctor dealing with these things is just plain scary. You might still want to start calmly asking him WHY he does things after he has calmed down. His first answer may not even be the "bottom" of it. It takes further questioning like if he says "because I felt like it" I ask "Why did you feel like it" or When did you start feeling like doing that". Digging for the why made all the difference in the world for us. Things at our house have calmed down significantly now that I understand some of his thought patterns. Many times his answers (after much digging) let me know I need to teach rather than punish. I have also learned to let some things go. I've had to prioritize. There's no way everything can be fixed at one time so I quit trying. [/QUOTE]
