[QUOTE="Numina, post: 216671, member: 6360"] So the GP was very encouraging. She wants to put him on another course of laxatives bcs she thinks the leaking could be a sign of constipation. But I said I wanted a physical exam before she did that. She hemmed and hawed about how traumatic an exam would be but I held firm and she finally relented. Apparently grammar schools are different here in that all the teachers are generalists and there is a wide variety of qualifications. This is why we are advised NOT to tell the school. If an unexperienced teacher is told about this and is unfamiliar with the syndrome then that could be unproductive. She also started the ball rolling for a second opinion. But there is a shortage of child psychiatrists so it will delay treatment. Not really sure I want to pursue this. What if the 2nd examination finds nothing? Then where will we be? I read as much of the 'Explosive Child' at Amazon online as I could and it seems that I already am doing many things right. I am a consensus builder-not an authoritarian parent so I'm used to trying to come up with a solution together. I read 'Raising Your Spirited Child' ages ago. But that doesn't describe difficult child. He's passive and too accomodating. Combine that with not being able to express what he wants and two parents with strong personalities...yeah. It's a powder keg. He still blew up over some chap stick the other night...It stung on his chapped lips. A popsicle put that right. Thanksgiving went well. Considering one of us has been in tears many previous years. It was still kinda tense. I really underestimated how exhausting raising a special needs child is. [/QUOTE]
