[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 409182, member: 1233"] I am so sorry. Hopefully the medicine will work well for her. At least you have some idea what possible side effects may look like? (yeah, real comforting, isn't it? :meh:) It is very dangerous to drive while difficult child is kicking your seat. Could you pull over and call 911 to have an officer come and speak to him? I am worried that someone will end up hurt in an accident, either your family or someone else on or near the road. You may want to first have an officer come out to speak to him at home to address these issues and the possible consequences if he does it again, esp if an accident occurs then. Most police departments and/or highway patrol departments are quite happy to do this. A logical consequence is to refuse to take difficult child anywhere other than school, doctor/therapist appts and anything you need to accomplish like errands. Refuse to allow him to go anywhere else for a period of time until he can be safe in the car. I mention errands because it may be difficult to leave him home alone if another adult isn't there. Just make sure you have your license, registration and insurance info easily accessible - maybe even find the reg and ins papers and to keep them in an envelope or section of your purse so you don't have to go fishing. IF you plan to call 911 when/if he kicks the seat or acts out in a violent manner in a vehicld, do NOT warn him that if he doesn't stop you will call the police. Let it be a surprise. Just make sure the doors are locked if possible (many rear doors have child locks you can activate by moving a lever on the door panel where the door meets the car (side near the handle). It would mean he could not open a rear door from the inside. Fingers crossed that the medications help easy child with no or few side effects/problems. [/QUOTE]
