[QUOTE="Andy, post: 154316, member: 5096"] How old is Elijah? Can you make a signature listing your kids and ages and if they have a diagnosis or are on medications? - sometimes knowing the age and a diagnosis if there is one will allow us to share some suggestions. Sounds like you are in need of a break. Would you feel comfortable with him staying one night with your mother so you can get a good nights sleep? How about a relative that can come into your home overnight and spend the evening with him? Someone to entertain him while you rest? People who have children that are easy child's just don't understand a child that is full of energy and can not follow society's "rules". Every one learns in a different way - parents of difficult child's have to be more creative than others in finding out how our child learns. You are stuck in the "ugly zone". You are so tired and frustrated that you only see the annoying things your son is doing. Very hard to see when he behaves - you are just waiting to see what the next disaster will be. Like you are only expecting something bad. The more tired we are, the longer we get stuck - hoping for peace and quiet for a few minutes but preparing for the behavior we hate to deal with. Do you have a structured day? Does Elijah know that schedule? Is there time that you have one on one time with him? If we can know his age, we can give some suggestions for one to one activities. Tomorrow is a new day. Try to get a good night's sleep and find time to do something for yourself. [/QUOTE]
