[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 604001, member: 11791"] Thanks for the health-care background... most of us here are from North America, so it helps knowing what you have access to... I'm just another parent of course. But I'm going to guess that this is a kid who sort of fits into the mainstream, but not quite. Maybe not enough "off" to even trigger an evaluation, but not quite "like everybody else". If so, it will show up more as he gets older. Given his flexibility and flat feet etc. - I'd be at least looking at an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation for motor skills, because the impact of subtle differences sometimes doesn't show impact until later, but early help is beneficial. If nothing else, to "rule out" any issues on that front. And then... I'd try reading a book like The Explosive Child by Ross Greene. It provides a different perspective on kids with challenges. For some of us, the actual approach in the book works, for some we use bits and pieces, and it doesn't always work. But in particular, I found the shift in mindset to be very valuable. [/QUOTE]
