[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 23384, member: 393"] Another thought.... Your little one is in such a period of growth. difficult child's very young - the diagnosis might change time & again. Along with that the medications. I remember that medications for tweedles dee & dum at ages 5 through 7 were never very successful. The diagnosis's kept changing & have until they hit 9 or 10. Can your difficult child self calm in anyway? Does television (not the parenting norm, but our children force us to do things differently), help the situation? Video games? How about a favorite blanket - will difficult child wrap up in a favorite blanket or quilt? Is your yard fenced? Can you let difficult child outside to play with-o total supervision? If so, husband & I assigned kt, wm & the dog a digging hole in the yard. (The sandbox wasn't enough) I let them dig for hours in their spot - they always had to fill the hole back in & put their tools away. A long bath with lavender or chamomile essence drops. Again, it may or may not help. I didn't have the time to wait for the "correct" diagnosis or the medication to "kick" in. I had to come up with a survival plan for the entire family. Just wanted to offer some of the everyday things I used that helped sometimes....others not so much. [/QUOTE]
