[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 589997, member: 11847"] No experience in kids like yours, but one thing I have learned while raising difficult children: be as active as possible in the treatment plan. Don't just rely on the experts, ask questions until you feel confortable with the answers, keep a critical eye and a critical mind, read on the topics they tell you about (the "experts" tell you about syndrom xz, read books about xz, and then come to the forum to ask parents of children with xz). You want to be and become and equal partner in yours kids treatment plan. One of the reason your 3 year old is doing good at daycare: structure. Lots of kids thrive on structured environment. You might try to think about ways to structure your home a bit more. I am not saying it is not structured, but try to do it more. Structure rarely hurts! And don't forget the famous "pick your battles". When it comes to raising difficult children, it is all about taking baby steps. It is a slow process and one that can rarely be rushed. Pick one or 2 most urgent issues, it is usually useless and exhausting for all concerned to fight about everything at once (even if in the bigger picture all those battles will have to be tackled in order for your child to be a well ajusted civilized person). One step at a time, one day at a time. [/QUOTE]
