[QUOTE="MO2, post: 338106, member: 8905"] As I try to type this, my 5 1/2 year old is "exploding" over his 2nd warm drink of the morning... Your situation reminds me SO much of mine! I can't tell you how many compliments we get on "AND's" behaviour, he is very mindful of others, shares, speaks fluently and clearly, and has been taught to leave an area just as he found it (ie playgrounds, Dr's offices, school/aka he picks up after himself), but he goes psycho when he wants a drink, he wants it warm and he wants it in a certain glass and he wants it NOW. He usually keeps everything together for awhile (at daycares) then he feels comfortable enough to let down. I wanted to tell you something the dr told us last week. We were describing to her some of the words he uses (hate, stupid, bad) , some of the "dark" things he talks about (death, killing, cutting heads off), we are baffled! We don't say we hate anyone or anything/one is BAD, we definately don't talk about death or killing or cutting someone's head off, WHERE? does he get this information??? We don't even let him watch Sponge Bob for goodness sake! The Dr. said, it's how he's putting things together it's how he's associating things in HIS mind. So, my advice is to find a professional Dr., you feel comfortable with and trust, be completely honest about everything and hopefully that will help to provide some insight on how she is putting thoughts together. Sometimes some pretty personal stuff can have a bearing on what your child is going through, it's going to be a family process. I do have the Explosive Child Book, it is helpful. I too had a 2nd child in the midst of realizing "AND" had problems it's hard, I'm not going to lie. But it has also been a blessing to see "it wasn't ALL US??? It isn't just our ineffective parenting skills???" "JAD" listens when we say No, he goes to time out and sits for his 2 minutes, then goes back to playing...my husband and I just sit back and go, "so, this is what it's supposed to be like? THIS is easy!" ha, ha, ha! Well, I have to go get that warm drink... Hope to hear updates soon! [/QUOTE]
