[QUOTE="waytootired, post: 52077, member: 3791"] Hi & welcome.. Your daughter sounds a lot like my difficult child(gift from God). He too is great in school, never a problem...until he gets home, in his safe zone. We always thought he must be able to control this behavior because he only behaves this way for my husband and myself. We too tried the timeouts, behavior charts, & spankings when he was younger.He has always been very quick to anger and gets frustrated easily, then "the outbursts" that gradually turned to "rages".(Throwing things, turning over furniture, hitting kicking and verbally abusive.)This all started about three years old ...he is now eleven. Two years ago he was diagnosis with early onset bipolar disorder. We started with depression & antidepressants about age 7, helped a little but gradually got worse and we moved on to mood stabelizers. We after some trial & error we found a medication that has worked wonders and he is doing great. My advice is to see a child phychologist & a peds. psychiatrist and have your difficult child evaulated. Get more than one opinion. Sometimes it takes seeing a few docs to find one you and your child really click with. Make sure they really listen and hear what you are saying. If you are having trouble with insurance call your county mental health clinic and see if they can help you with services. There are a lot of really informed and experienced parents on this forum...We are happy that you are joining us. Keep us updated !! xoxo [/QUOTE]
