[QUOTE="jal, post: 327740, member: 3477"] I'm sorry. My difficult child is 7 and you just described him at that age. That's how he was at exactly the same age. Destroyed class rooms, hit, kicked etc. It started at the age of 2.5 for us. He was thrown out of daycare for the first time at around the age of 3. He's been through 3 others since then. He cost me my job of 9.5 years. I will be honest that we've been on this for years with-him and now he is better, it's not perfect, but better. I used to get so bruised from holding my child who is freakishly strong and having him bang his skull into every chest bone, facial and arm bones I had. We've gone through psychologists (some well known published author & professor from an ivy league univ, ugh), multiple psychiatrists, medications, therapists, behavioralists, neuropsychs, and in home services. Our difficult child is now placed out of district in a therapeutic school and doing very well. My child had a breakthrough academically earlier this year with-the addition of Prozac, but he has also trialed many others (that didn't work) and he takes it in conjunction with-a mood stabilizer too. Has your child been evaluated by a neuropsychologist? Is there a family history of mental illness/substance abuse? Welcome. This is a GOOD place to be. [/QUOTE]
