[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 457495, member: 11791"] He's definitely needing a comprehensive evaluation. Obviously there's LOTS more details on a daily basis, but just from what you have written... I'd be suspecting... 1) Sensory issues - an Occupational Therapist (OT) can evaluate for that, and provide guidance and/or therapy. This can be a HUGE problem. 2) Overtired - this is a complex issue. You see, there are multiple types of "tired", and therefore multiple solutions. For example, if he is mentally or emotionally tired but not physically tired, it can be really hard to get to sleep and/or get enough sleep. Then there's the whole challenge of "quality of sleep" - kids can get 12 hours a night, and still not get the deep sleep they need so much. Being tired - just that alone - is enough to drive a kid crazy. And all sorts of behavior problems come out of that. 3) the bedwetting etc. could be a raft of things... from developmental (will eventually outgrow), to exhaustion, to medical problems, to whatever else! I'm seeing a kid with needs that you are not aware of. You need to get to the bottom of the needs, before you will make much progress on dealing with behaviors. At least, that s been our experience.
