[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 53089, member: 1722"] Hi Crystal and welcome. Sorry you have to be here. Unlike SRL's case, my daughter's allergies seem to have been the root cause of her behavior problems. One big clue for us was that her behaviors ebbed and waned greatly throughout the year (and throughout the seasons). She'd have a bad spell lasting, say, six weeks and then POOF! she'd be perfectly normal for a few weeks before cycling again. I suggest you start a daily behavior journal so you can track what's going on with your son. I also agree that it's probably a working diagnosis. Have his speech evaluated now, you'll be way ahead if there's a problem. As for your husband, it seems many fathers inadvertently escalate the problems by being a tough disciplinarian. My only advice is to have a heart-to-heart, explaining that this technique will not work and actually make things worse. I started following The Explosive Child techniques when Duckie was three. I found I had to let my husband deal with the consequence's of Duckie's rages when he triggered them. He thought I was being "soft", when what I was doing was minimizing the battles in our home so that we could begin parenting again. Good luck with the evaluation at Vanderbilt. Let us know how it goes. [/QUOTE]
