[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 19205, member: 1550"] Hi, Heather. Wow. Well, first off, I recommend a multi-disciplinary evaluation to see why he is acting out and why it came on suddenly. You can get one at a children's or university hospital. None of us can really diagnose him. His behavior points to many possibilities, but I doubt he is being defiant just to upset you. Most likely, he is suffering from a psychiatric or neurological problem that needs intervention, not discipline. medications can help, but that depends on what the problem is. My son did worse on medications so it's individual. I strongly do NOT recommend a pediatrician. They simply don't know enough about childhood behavior and what causes it to be helpful. I also don't recommend just a psycologist--I think a team of experts is best for now. Good luck [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
