[QUOTE="busywend, post: 103060, member: 391"] First of all - welcome! I think your difficult child for sure needs an evaluation and I am glad you have decided on the neuropsychologist route. That is really a great place to start. The principal needs to get a clue. Has she never dealt with kids before this year? Tantrums only happen if they work somewhere! Maybe with a easy child. Has she never seen a truly frustrated child? Or adult for that matter! I understand your husband's thought process. They are the usual parenting techniques. Unfortunately, those usually do not work with our kids. It ends up frustrating them more. I think at 5 & 1/2 you do have to try everything. I am assuming there has been reason for punishment before this? What have you tried and what was the outcome? I have seen the take everything away and let them earn it back a bit at a time work for some time. Out of your 3 options that is the one I would try first. [/QUOTE]
