[QUOTE="kim75062, post: 699693, member: 20727"] I am going through the same thing with my son that just turned 6 at the end of July. His behavior problems seem to only occur at school though. He tests his limits at home but I don't think its any worse then a typical 6 year old. So far with mine we have gotten a diagnosis of ADHD and a sensory processing disorder (still working on the full diagnosis work up for that one) and school anxiety. Your his mom and you know him best, follow what your gut says. It breaks my heart to hear mine say whats wrong with me? or I tried my best but i just couldn't not run away. All I can do is tell him try his best again next time and reinforce that he is not "bad" the behavior is and we will work to learn to control it together. I don't like the idea of medications with small children either but I am not against it because they can be very useful tools to help with these behaviors. I tired a few medications because the school and doctors wanted me to "fix " him. After a few months of struggling with medications, the side effects, doctors and schools and worse behaviors I finally realized he cant be fixed because hes not broken and they cant cure him with medications because hes not sick. Some people have great luck with them and some (like mine) just don't. He is just him and that's exactly how he is supposed to be. I haven't had the daily struggles you are having at home so I have no advice on how to help with that except take it one day at a time and keep trying. Eventually you will find what works for him and how to help him be the best him that he can. You will find a lot of great people on here with years of experience and lots of good advice. (I'm not one of them yet lol). There is a light at the end of the tunnel for you and your son I'm sure of it but some tunnels are just a lot longer then others :) Also this post is from 2011, I would suggest starting your own thread so you can get more help and responses to your own situation. I would love to hear how its been going for suevv's son these last few years. [/QUOTE]
