[QUOTE="zaftigmama, post: 500529, member: 13038"] Believe me, I'm reading (and have been reading) a lot of posts here and I know that help is hard to get sometimes, even when it's the men in white coats--but I'm afraid of having CPS called on me, so this is part of that (I know several special needs parents who have had CPS reports made d/t their difficult child's behaviors). Anyway. We tried to get Brownie a private therapist. Both sessions he'd play with the toys, but then he'd lay down on the ground and refuse to speak when the therapist approached him. That's when we consulted with my PNP (psychiatric nurse practitioner) to see if he needed medications first. Her opinion was medications weren't warranted--yet. Since he has a good relationship with his school counselor, we're just continuing with her. We're doing a sticker chart and sometimes that helps, but when it doesn't it REALLY doesn't. Today, I took the boys to swim at a local pool during the day and at night we went to see monster trucks (Brownie's favorite). It was fun, but on the ride home Brownie asked about playing with his PS2--it was late so I said we'll have to do that tomorrow. Cue giant meltdown, kicking, screaming, woke up his brother (who did NOT have a good time seeing the monster trucks--we suspected as much but he insisted he wanted to go, so we wanted to support him in that--he ended up wetting his pants and we cleaned him up with napkins--poor kid)--screaming at us that we hate him, we're not real parents, we "throw him against the wall and punch him in the face"??!!? Nice way to end an evening. [/QUOTE]
