[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 372381, member: 6705"] Welcome! Lots of gentle hugs, first of all. Trust me, you're definitely in the right place. I don't have a whole lot of experience with very young difficult children; mine are a bit older. However, I do think the specialist is a good move to start. Since you have 2 10-y/o kids - could you maybe enlist their help? Sometime when he is napping, or after he goes to sleep (if this is possible), say, "I know we spend a lot of time on difficult child, and I bet you wish we had more time for you. What do you think we can all do - me, Dad, and you guys - to make that happen?" Including them may help. Others with more experience or info will be along, I just wanted to welcome you and maybe suggest that one little thing. More hugs - I know they're needed! [/QUOTE]
