[QUOTE="slsh, post: 190340, member: 8"] Hi flwcohen and welcome! I'm so glad to hear that your son is doing well in school - my goodness, that's at *least* half the battle right there. I have to agree with the other posters that it's time to find the cat a new home, unfortunately. While obviously we want to teach our kids appropriate behaviors, sometimes the learning curve is a pretty big one and you certainly don't want the cat injured in the meantime. Not only would that just be a tragedy for the cat, but I think it would also be one for your youngest as well. I do want to point out that none of us are experts (except on our own kids - sometimes ;) ) nor do any of us have *the* right answer. As parents of kids with challenging behaviors, we bring to the board our own biases that have been shaped by our individual experiences. That is the beauty of this board - take 2 parents whose children have the same diagnosis and chances are you will get 2 vastly different experiences in terms of behaviors, treatment, and education. Throw in differences in philosphy of parenting and you get a wonderful spectrum of information and suggestions. Some of it will apply to your situation, some won't - take what you can use and don't worry about the rest of it. In my experience, parenting a difficult child is an evolution. There is no be-all end-all right answer (darn it) and we adapt over the years. The folks on the board are a fabulous resource as you and your son grow! Again - welcome to the board! :) [/QUOTE]
