[QUOTE="DDD, post: 551025, member: 35"] Welcome...sorry you had to find us but glad you did. You will receive alot of great advice from different CD family members. I agree that CPS has such an ominous ring to the name that it's easy to forget they can help. on the other hand, just like in the school system it's the luck of the draw in being assigned a professional. My only, first and foremost, suggestion is start documenting every single day. It doesn't have to written like a novel but make notes on a daily basis in an appointment. book or notebook using dates and keeping it out of sight from difficult child. There are many advantages to doing this type of record. Sometimes a parent "sees" a pattern that they have not noticed before that can help the household. on the other hand the most valuable reason to note daily medications and behaviors and battles and fun is so you have documented proof that you are trying every day to find the best way to help your daughter and your family. It's ok to briefly note your own reactions as well. Should CPS become involved, should you change psychiatrists, should you end up with law enforcement interaction...no matter what happens you will have a dairy showing the truth. It also can be helpful in getting an IEP at the school so she gets additional appropriate supports. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
