[QUOTE="Joeman, post: 174546, member: 5231"] Hi & Welcome, Have you had your difficult child evaluated by a neuropsychologist or developemental pediatrician? My DS who is almost 4 (see diagnoses below) got to a phase where he was sooooo out of control with hitting, spitting, and negative verbal outbursts. He even spit at the developmental pediatrician and hit me and his sisters right in front of the developmental pediatrician. I wish I could say I was able to lovingly talk him out of this behavior and help him calm down but everyting we tried didn't work and we got a lot of conflicting advice from professionals. What did work...putting him on medication at age 3.5, positive behaviorial reinforcement (catching him being 'good') and a swift, non-emotional time out ONLY for the hitting, spitting stuff. In a matter of weeks, the aggressive behavior was down to a much more manageable level and things are looking up (as opposed to feeling hopeless, where I was before). I hope you find some answers and things improve for you soon. [/QUOTE]
