[QUOTE="Malika, post: 606909, member: 11227"] Each child is unique. And, to misquote Tolstoy, each unhappy child is unhappy in its own way... but actually, just to clarify things for you, my son was just like yours - sometimes explosive at home, generally controlled at school and outside - until recently, when he has started melting down in front of people other than me. He's never had a real meltdown at school like he does at home, though. My own jury is still out about medication. I can see myself never doing it, I can see myself trying it again (as if it were me who was going to be taking it!!) Other ways are always preferable, the more difficult and time-consuming and creative ways, but I can see that sometimes they can't be put in place if the child is constantly out of control. But on the whole I tend to prefer the notion that children are much more than their ability or not to fit into our social norms and conventions and that a different approach to a child can sometimes work wonders, though doubtless not overnight.
