[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 297497, member: 1550"] I would take him to a neuropsychologist. With all due respect to your parents, even being around kids or being an educator is not the same thing and their opinions won't help you if your child does not respond to typical behavioral therapies or deterrents. By the way, that's the norm for all of our kids...lol....and many of our kids begin by misbehaving only for mom. It CAN and often DOES eventually spread to others. Remember, Dad isn't around as much and many kids can maintain better at school due to the structure of it. If you're thinking it's your parenting, in my opinion it probably isn't. He is the most comfortable toward you so he feels safe acting out on you, which doesn't help much. All I can advise is that if this was my child rather than going to a therapist, I'd do the neuropsychologist bit right away. This is a psychologist with extra training in the brain and in the opinion of many on this board they test the most and are best at pinpointing problems and deficits that can cause frustration and issues with our children. Most health care professionals do not do this intensive type of testing and many of us find it very useful. The 50's are over. I was born in 1953. The theories then have been proven invalid. When I was a kid, autism was thought to be a form of schizophrenia and caused by "refrigerator mothers." Obviously we've made a lot of progress. If you're interested, NeuroPsychs can be found at university and children's hospitals. Good luck, whatever you decide to do. [/QUOTE]
