[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 147319, member: 1161"] Stopping in to say hi. :bigsmile: It doesn't sound like you're happy with the therapist/psycologists you've seen. I would wonder at their diagnosis, especially a therapist that would advise corporal punishment, which doesn't work with our kids especially. I would be seeking another opinion, which if you can get one a multidisciplinary evaluation would be good. Check out the FAQ forum on what this is. Or a neuropsychologist evaluation as Midwest Mom suggested. From reading your posts I would think something else may be going on, and a 2nd opinion wouldn't hurt. Sleep can be a big thing with my difficult child, can always tell when he's stayed up late and not had enough sleep. Yesterday was one, he stayed up late to finish homework, got up pretty much in a rage (he hates school as it is) slamming doors almost off the hinges, was refusing to take his book bag to school. So in the end I decided that he should just stay home and I did call him in away due to illness, but restricted him from electronics. He wasn't happy with that, but got extra sleep yesterday, went to bed close to usual time, and this morning was pretty much pleasant even though I was driving him to school. If you can keep him on a pretty even sleep schedule, bed time always the same, it works much better I find. I'm one who recommends "The Explosive Child" as a good book to read. It helped us quite a bit, learned how to pick my battles, how to deal with difficult child differently to get a better outcome. 123 Magic never worked for him, though it does for easy child. Again, welcome to the site. :flower: Hope you find the support, advice, ear to just vent to that you need. [/QUOTE]
