[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 6890, member: 1514"] Hey there. I want to welcome you to the board. I know the board will be slow right now because its the holiday but wanted you to know you are so not alone. Most of us here came here because we had little tyrants. They acted that way for various reasons but they were driving us all crazy. I really doubt it was anything you did or didnt do that caused him to be this way. Sure we all could have done some things different in hindsight but beating ourselves up never helped anyone. Your son is 4, you couldnt have done but so much wrong...lol. My advice would be to start with your pediatrician and tell him you would like a referral to someone who evaluates children with behavioral or neurological disorders. The best way to get this done in one fell swoop would be a multidisciplinary evaluation at a childrens hospital if you can arrange that. If not, getting him seen by a childrens psychiatrist, a childrens neurologist and a speech pathologist would be a good start. I would also get a jump start with the schools and ask for an evaluation thru them because you will probably have problems when he goes to school. Look in our Special Education section on how to do this. Read the posts here. They are full of valuable information. Check out the archives too. If you have questions, please feel free to PM (private message) members because we are a wonderful and knowledgeable bunch of people. We are all just moms but we have traveled this road before you and know some of the bumps. Again, Welcome! Happy Thanksgiving. [/QUOTE]
