[QUOTE="jannie, post: 27036, member: 2074"] I am so sorry things are not going well. Sending hugs...It was during a 30 day suspension when difficult child was 4 years old that I was really able to focus on his issues. One strategy I tried was that I reduced the amount of time difficult child was in day care. I decided to try a partial day to see if it improved..so I had a babysitter pick him up at 1:00 and she remained with him for the rest of the day...In the end I realized that he was better off with a babysitter than at day care. The reality of day care is that often the staff is not fully trained nor equipped to handle challenging children. They were inflexible and made things worse. After several months of agonizing over what to do, I decided to put him in a therapuetic nursery school program. It was a great decision...he spent one year working on his weaknesses, frustration, anger management, negotiation skills... It really prepared him for kindergarten. I also made a strategy bag filled with a few things he can do instead of getting angry. I filled it with special markers, a squooshy ball and a few other little toys. He was supposed to get his strategy bag when frustrated. He could go over to it and use it whenever he felt he needed to calm down. I understand your pain...Hope tomorrow is better. [/QUOTE]
