[QUOTE="wjaes, post: 12723, member: 1960"] Jamie, I sooooo much appreciate the response to my post. He doesn't have an IEP at school. He attends a public montessori school and learning is individually based so he does't have as many problems in the classroom (recess, aftercare, lunch and any other unstructured times are different story). The thing that I have noticed with difficult child is that this time of year (Jan. through March) seem to be the toughest times. Both hospitalizations occurred in this time frame (last year and the year before). He has taken to kicking holes in the basement bathroom walls. He has started (in the last year) to do really horrible things to himself (hitting self in jaw with closed fist, scratching face, pulling top lip way down with both hands) and aggression towards objects has really increased. He isn't aggressive to others (it has happened but very very rarely), but I am afraid that if the way his dad gets him to mind is buy being "bigger" and spanking him, difficult child will only learn that "might makes right". difficult child will be big and strong as an adult and doesn't need to learn to be a bully. On the other hand, i am tired and can't keep up the fight..... Again, thanks for posting back, I feel like I am in a constant nightmare. Wendy [/QUOTE]
