[QUOTE="2BoysnKy, post: 552013, member: 15249"] I agree it is too early to say he is bipolar I just know it is in the family. As an infant and toddler he was fine with milestones and health. I left his father when he was 8 months and he's only spent a little time with him. His therapist and I both are concerned over what may have happened during the summer visitation. He had a few "out burst" before the visitation but that could have been normal two year old behavior or it could have been the start of this. We don't know. He didn't have separation anxiety before the summer visitation either. I could leave him with my mom or cousin without any issue. He has finally got to where he isn't having a meltdown when I leave but it takes about ten minutes to get out the door still. With the possibility of abuse and genetics I am pretty much ready for a wait and see for a diagnosis. I just need some help of things to try with him I guess. He won't sit in time out at all and it makes matters worse trying to get him too, taking things away doesn't work and he will keep hitting,kicking,biting until he is done. All I can do is hold him when he is like that to keep everybody from getting hurt and I don't like doing it but don't know what else to do. walking away doesn't work he follows, telling him it hurts, that its not nice, stop etc he doesn't care. No sets him off more so I stay away from using it. When he is just playing he will come up and pinch,punch,or kick you and laugh. I'm just lost with what to do with him. I have tried to keep him on a strict schedule and it doesn't help except taking him out in public during nap time is of no help. I still keep him to the schedule it is just easier to know what is happening when with my oldest in school plus karate 4 days a week. I keep sugary foods away and only allow my boys juice,milk, water to drink. Candy is a treat not something they get everyday.
