The wife, difficult child, and I met with Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) for the third time yesterday.
The weekend was great, difficult child was well behaved and happy all weekend. He was polite (yes mam, thank you) to just about everyone but his mom and I
We told him before school that we were going to check him out and take him back to the Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and he was not happy about that. When he gets nervous or unhappy, it turns immediately to anger. By the time we made it to school, he was ok again.
Not much came out of the Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), difficult child was clammed up mostly, and after she met with him she met with us privately. Said we (wife and I) MUST get on the same page on dicipline and punishments, and post rules where he can see them. wife is too linient and I am pretty strict. Also be sure to reward him for jobs well done.
After the Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) meeting, we went to the pediatric doctor to get him checked out. We really like his pediatrician , and trust him. difficult child acted pretty ugly to the pediatrician (wouldn't follow directions, attitude). After checking difficult child out, wife and I talked to him privately. He assured us that he trusts Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), but gave us a pschologists name as well. He also strongly suggested we follow the Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) suggestion of trying a low dose of zoloft for difficult child to help him get out of his "funk" , or as the pediatric doctor said, help him get over his anger quicker. We hope the zoloft will get him to open up more with his feelings.
I honestly do not think there is anything going on but the ODD, with maybe some ADHD, although it's not often he is ever hyper ever at home. He is just extremely defiant and not trustworthy. For example, we do not let him take his phone to school except on rare occasions. This morning we asked if he had his phone and he flat out said no. After dropping him off at school, I had to go back to the house, and noticed his phone was gone. When wife picked him up, she saw it in his pocket, but he still denied it..
So, he has lost the phone privileges and playstation privileges for a few days. Now he is really po'ed and telling wife he hates her.
