[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 9107, member: 1550"] This kid has been diagnosed with "possible" everything under the sun. I don't think a talk therapist will help you one bit at this point, even a good one. The child sounds like he has some disorder, and it is still undiagnosed, and that takes medical and neurological training. Talking and behavioral mod rarely works until a child is stable. in my opinion you should take him to a NeuroPsychologist (only the neuro type and not a neurologist, although a seperate neurological appointment. never hurts) and have this kid tested, evaluated and observed. I doubt he has everything listed and until you know what it is, and he is medicated correctly for it, he will be violent. I personally think it's extreme to call the police on a six year old who probably can't control himself. That will probably only lead to foster care, which, again, in my opinion only (as an ex-foster parnet) is not the answer either. Those parents know only as much as you do, and probably less, about how to parent your child. You could get into trouble too if you mess with the cops. I'd put him in the hospital--a good one--they aren't all good--if he gets violent again. Maybe the testing he gets there will be good enough to at least give him a start. You shouldn't have to put up with it, but I doubt he has control. ODD is sort of a universal diagnosis, and probably all the kids on this site meet the criteria, but it rarely stands alone and is usually the result of a bigger issue/mental illness/neurological problem. I wish you luck in this difficult journey. As for spanking, that would likely make him worse and more violent. This has nothing to do with discipline. [/QUOTE]
