[QUOTE="happymomof2, post: 103286, member: 4270"] Welcome, kinda new here myself but everyone seems to be very nice and lots have been there done that and have great advise. My husband also likes to do the knee jerk reaction thing and take everything away for a long period of time. My son is now 14 and that still doesn't work. When we do that he doesn't feel like he has anything to loose so he just gets worse. Plus then I don't have any bargaining chips to use. Your son is so young maybe he would do well with taking one thing he really likes away and when he changes his behavior/attitude then give it back - same day type deal. Just a thought. I know how you feel, before my son was diagnosed he was getting ready to be expelled from Elementary school. He was diagnosed with ADHD and put on medications and placed in Special Education at school which did wonders for him. Just a word of caution with the Special Education. Seems like it was real easy to get him in but is extremely difficult to get him out. If that is the route they are suggesting at school see if they can put him into a plan but keep him in regular ed classes. Hope things start going better for your family soon. [/QUOTE]
