[QUOTE="idohope, post: 291027, member: 7722"] Thank you all. To SRL: She does pretty well socially and has friends that she interacts with. Seems interested in the same things they are like bike riding, webkins, nail polish, talking on the phone. Most of them have witnessed at least the start of a tantrum if not a full meltdown but seem fairly forgiving of her behavior at this point. I anticipate this will change in the coming years. She is very athletic and is involved in several sports. For the sports, getting ready to go and the transition to get there can be a nightmare but she is fine once there. To Nomad: difficult child does not currently see a therapist. husband, myself go regularly and easy child 1 comes occasionally to get support. We do PCIT with difficult child at home. difficult child refuses to go and we would have to literally carry her in the door to get her to the therapist. Although they determined an IEP was not needed, the school has been careful about the teacher selection and I appreciate that. I think having seen the tantrums in first grade (and having had to remove the rest of class from the room when they could not physically remove or calm her) they realized what they could be in for with the wrong teacher. LOL I also really need to take the advice about husband. Our relationship has definitely been put on a back burner and we have not always been on the same page but we now both go regularly to therapist and are both reading a couple of the Ross Greene books. I will work on the nurturing the relationship. Based on your posts it seems like if I were to get difficult child to see someone at this point it should be a neuropsychologist and once we have a better understanding of the underlying issues we could better identify the right therapist. Thank you again for all the supportive replies. [/QUOTE]
