[QUOTE="SRL, post: 7643, member: 701"] I agree with TM that the way to go is to videotape the child without them knowing the camera is running. Then schedule an appointment with your doctor. If they resist giving you an appointment then tell them that you are on the verge of a family crisis because of this child's behavior, that you are concerned for the safety of your other children, etc. If the doctor doesn't listen to your concerns then it's time to take steps to find someone else (sorry I don't know exactly how your system works in Canada). Most doctors are very apologetic once they see the videotape. Also, if mental health won't return your calls there are two options. One is to ask to speak to a supervisor/manager and if they won't put you through on the phone get online and find the email address and provide the details of how many times you've called, the reason for your call, and how long you've waited for return response. It sounds like early intervention preschool would be helpful. Do you know the channels to get that process to get the ball rolling for referral? If those ideas don't get you some quick action, let us know and we'll dig up some more for you. Hang in there--it's almost always worse around the holidays. The kids respond to all the disruption in the only way they know how to vent their frustrations. [/QUOTE]
