[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 131750, member: 1233"] I think it is possible for an almost 5yo to be calculating in finding ways to displease his parents, but probably not the first thing that would jump to my mind. Has he been evaluated by a developmental pediatrician to see what is going on? Has an all-around physical lately (I know it is not a new problem, but that is usually what I try about every 6-8 months if we are having problems.) I know that my own difficult child (now 16) would act out horribly as he was starting to have a health problem. So I took to ruling that OUT before I assumed something calculated was going on. Has he seen an Occupational Therapist to evaluate for Sensory Integration Disorder? It is a condition where the brain just can't cope with the input from the senses. The Out-of-Sync Child by Kranowitz is a very useful book on the subject. Even more useful is The Out-of-Sync Child has Fun by the same author. I found that the Has Fun book gave LOTS of ideas to help ease us through transitions/changes/daily life. And many are quite practical and affordable! I would seek out a developmental pediatrican to try to find out what you are dealing with. If the lollipop works and the stick is what is scaring you, why not pull the stick out or cut it off short? What happens if you put the little on in her seat then just put him in his and buckle him? Will he go along with it, scream for hours, hurt himself or others, or ????? It can be hard to do, depending on his size and yours, but it might be worth it. Hope something works. (If not skis, then a skateboard?? ) Susie [/QUOTE]
