[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 219667, member: 1233"] I want to welcome youhere,if I didn't already. You sure are in the right place! First of all,I strongly recommend you read a book called "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. It will give you insight into how he thinks andways to parent him. I also recommend Love & Logic Parenting for Teens by Fay and Cline. I have found it invaluable. You can also go to their website: [URL="http://www.loveandlogic.com"]www.loveandlogic.com[/URL] for lots of good info. Next, no matter WHAT he does- STOP smacking him in the mouth or anywhere else. I KNOW YOU ARE NOT ABUSING HIM. The thought of abuse is NOT why I say this. With our kids, they don't think or react the way "normal" kids do. With a difficult child if you hit him it tells him that hitting someone smaller or weaker is OK. So hitting or smacking INCREASES the violence and does nothing to change the behavior for the better. There is a form on in the FAQ section of the board that will help you make a Parent Report. Here is a link to it: [URL]http://www.conductdisorders.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10[/URL] A Parent Report is a way to organize ALL the info on your child, including your hopes and dreams for him, and communicate it to the people who work with you to help him. Many of us have found it to be invaluable. I personally find a picture of my son (small, like a school photo) at the beginning of each section to be very helpful. It helps the docs, therapists, etc... remember exactly which child this is about. You can give copies to the docs, or just have info on hand to tell the docs when they ask questions. I am not sure what kinds of testing you had done, but you may want to have either a neuropsychologist test him or have a multi-disciplinary evaluation done. Multi-disc evaluations are when a group of different professionals all evaluate him and then work together to figure out what is going on. You can find this at Children's Hospitals or University Hospitals usually. I am truly sorry all this is going on. I hope that things can get better soon. [/QUOTE]
