[QUOTE="navineja, post: 232379, member: 4278"] First, welcome! Wow, your story sounds almost exactly like ours. Our twins (now 7 1/2) came to us at 3yrs 3 mos from a chaotic, neglectful background. Unstable parents, in and out of prison, etc. N was very much like your son. Did basically well in school, but major anger and agression at home, argumentative, never at fault, even has asthma and attention problems! Kindergarten was not horrible, but not pleasant. First grade was a nightmare, with issues almost every day after school. We tried so many different things (too many to list right now), but finally things have become better. That said, know that there can be light at the end of the tunnel that is not a train! N still occasionally has a tantrum, but this may happen once every couple of months rather than once a day. She has really seemed to mature and wants to work at controlling to whatever extent she is able. I also have made adjustments that have helped (basket stuff- see the book "The Explosive Child"). I hope that this helps. Others will be along to welcome you and your family. Take comfort in the fact that you are not alone and we all have been there done that in one way or another. [/QUOTE]
