[QUOTE="Mandy, post: 289890, member: 6245"] Welcome! You are definitly not alone. I have been there with my 5yo and used to cry and cry over my son's behavior. No amount of time-outs will help and many times Little Bear also laugh when I was trying to dicipline him. When I started getting into the mindset that he didn't want to behave this way and that he couldn't help it... it really made all the difference. I started asking myself how I would respond if my child were physically handicapped and couldn't do something. Having a child with a mental disorder is no different and when you think of it that way I think it puts a new perspective on everything. I started reading as many books as I could including The Explosive Child, The Bi-Polar Child, online reference, forums etc. Those were wonderful ways to start gathering information to help Little Bear. I would start with an evaluation so that you know what you are dealing with. Little Bear did end up going on medications and after 6mo of trying many different kinds I think we are finally on the right track. It takes time and lots of patience... which I have really had to dig deep to find at times:winking: {{BIG HUGS}} [/QUOTE]
