[QUOTE="SRL, post: 22515, member: 701"] Most of us here didn't find the answers we needed to help our children until we had a thorough understanding of their issues through assessment and research and until we'd found the right strategies (school setting, The Explosive Child, therapies, etc.) so we're probably not the best crowd to ask your question of! It's of course reasonable to give it a few weeks as your dr suggests but we'd also mention that ups and downs are always part of life with kids, not just challenging ones. You should also factor into your observations that any time you implement a behavior program like TEC, if it works it's common for there to be an initial period where the child responds well. If there's an underlying neurological issue, this improvement is usually only temporary. How is she doing in the new preschool? Is she happy and wanting to go back? Reluctant? What is her teacher reporting? How did she do when the baby arrived? All kids struggle when a new little one is brought home but most of them rebound quite quickly. How does she do with transitions such as leaving home and going to the library or stopping an activity? [/QUOTE]
