[QUOTE="momof4insc, post: 26659, member: 3509"] I am new to this website too, but my story is similar. My son has been a violent child from about the time he was born [img]:smile:[/img] His 4 year old kindergarten teacher saw some concerns, but since he was there for only 2 hours, she saw no reason to have him tested. There were no triggers, he just turned into a differnet boy, most of the time having no recollection of what he had done. He went to kindergarten and the behavior I had at home was seen there. He threw desks, chairs, books, anything not bolted to the floor at his teachers and other students. He kicked his teachers and the principal, he was out of control. The only thing suggested was stiffer punishment at home. I was having daily conferences with the teacher. Home life for me was unbearable, I was in Hell. My sons sisters got the biting and hitting. I got the throwing, kicking, and verbal abuse. The animals got the kicking and malicious behavior. My son was and still is a self mutilator. He likes to scratch or cut himself when he is angry. Hitting his head on the floor (we have a slab foundation), and hitting himself in the head. He progressed to the first grade with a note to work on his behavior over the summer. First grade started off on a bad note, he stabbed a student with a pencil, then threw a rock and hit a boy in the eye. Once again, if it wasnt bolted down, it was a weapon. His teacher and I had conference after conference and we decided to have him tested. I am glad we did, he was diagnosed with conduct disorder. He has been seeing his therapist every other week for over a year. The medications he takes help him too. He still has some rages and impulsive behavior. I wish I had taken him to his pediatrician earlier, but I went with the advice of others (I went to parenting classes for 2 years) instead of going with my motherly instinct. I wish you luck and remember, PATIENCE is the key. [/QUOTE]
