[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 362183, member: 1631"] Welcome beachlife! So glad you found us-you have truly found a soft place to land. While I never experienced my child being great in one place and not the other many will tell you that it is very common. They work hard all day at holding it together at school and then come home and melt down with the ones they know are here for them no matter what. One of your questions was how do you get an 8 year old to take medications? We had this problem (and sometimes still do) with my difficult child. It has always been one of the things we refuse to bend on. His whole world stops until he finally takes it. Believe me it isn't always easy but he knows he gets nothing, no tv, games, computer time until he takes it. Sometimes if he continues to refuse we have to tell him computer or tv will be gone for even longer periods. I'm sorry you are also dealing with the violence. I've lived with it with my difficult child and it is very difficult. I'm surprised the psychiatrist says she is not in danger of hurting anyone else when she came after you. That part is confusing to me. One book many of us like here is [I]The Explosive Child [/I]by Ross Greene-it's a good read and offers many ideas on how to parent our difficult kiddos. Again welcome to our corner of the world. [/QUOTE]
