[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 471438"] Welcome. You sound like a great mom! Your boys are so lucky! Have you had any Occupational Therapist (OT), Speech Language Pathologist (SLP), testing done? Are they in early intervention? Preschool? What medications have you tried? Do they see a psychiatrist? (psychiatrist) Have they been seen by a neuropsychologist, developmental pediatrician, multi-disciplinary team? I found reading 'the explosive child' helped me realize I didn't have to work on everything all at once. Yes, my kids are behind and I have the skills to teach them BUT I don't have to work on sitting still while working on safety. It also has a great way of thinking about discipline. Its a basket system. I have also found my training as a sp ed teacher to be invaluable in 2 ways. First, the way you interact with your kids is right on EVEN IF it doesn't look like it is working at the time. It took 7 years of working at it before for time outs started working with difficult child 1. (Plus we tried others things as well, nothing seemed to work.) Second, a knowledge of sp. ed. law is a must. It is very different sitting on the other side of the table. Here you hear of horrible schools and wonderful schools most will fall somewhere in between and you'll need your knowledge to get the best education for your boys. Again, welcome! [/QUOTE]
