[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 411167, member: 393"] slewis901, welcome to our little corner of the world. It's time to get out a video camera & record this stuff. Document document document each physically aggressive incident & the trigger if there is one. In the meantime, you need to sit up a safety zone for your little one when your difficult child starts raging. A pretty room with her dolls & some movies ~ anything to remove her from the goings on of her big brother. The entire family needs a crisis plan in place. If the local psychiatrists aren't willing to listen it's time to hit a university teaching hospital. I'd also request every evaluation under the sun to rule out/rule in various disorders. While you're in the process of finding help pick up the book The Explosive Child ~ a godsend to many parents on this site. Another book that worked with my difficult child wm who raged every 20 minutes was Parenting with Love & Logic. Whatever works for you & your family is what I'd put in place. Pick your battles wisely. If your difficult child choose to urinate on himself due to consequences then he must change his clothes & take them to the laundry room. While consequences are a natural part of life you need to catch your little one doing/making the right choices. What is calming for your difficult child? Is is a shower or bath? If you can see him escalating find that one thing that will de-escalate. For my children at that age it was a bath with their favorite toys. Or a cup of herb tea with honey along with a pudding cup. Just some thoughts for you while you sort out the thing with doctors & therapists. [/QUOTE]
