[QUOTE="SRL, post: 177076, member: 701"] Hi Miche, sorry to hear things are deteriorating. There's likely something underlying these behaviors--I'm glad you have the developmental pediatrician appointment lined up. What I would suggest to begin with is to call and ask to be placed on their cancellation list. Tell them you are very flexible, then if they do call, drop everything and go. If there's anything obvious in the developmental departement (such as speech delays or differences, problems with motor skills or sensory stimuli) you can also request to be referred right away instead of waiting until after the dev pediatrician's appointment. That can help shave off some time in getting a full picture. If she's heading off to kindergarten in fall, I'd also advise writing a letter to the local public school district and requesting an evaluation. Once school starts a lot of kindergarteners hit that list fast and it would be good to her name on it. Often in those cases they'll wait until the dev pediatrician's report comes in but it will set the wheels in motion. For right now, I'd suggest pulling your copy of The Explosive Child back our and rereading it. Try thinking of her as a child who has something possibly amiss in the neurobehavioral realm, not a child who is trying to make you nuts. Are you getting time away from her on a regular basis?
