[QUOTE="nvts, post: 205750, member: 3814"] Welcome Over! You've found a great place. First I want to recommend reading "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. You're particular little lady is obviously not responding to traditional measures (grounding, "go to your room" and the like), and this book helps you understand what's going on in their brains prior to and during a meltdown. The best part is that it's not a bunch of technical mumbo jumbo, sort of "writen by a human for a human!" ;) Has she had a thorough neuropsychologist evaluation? These are done by a neuropsychologist that will do a whole bunch of different tests over a few appointments. You can usually have them done at a Children's or Teaching Hospital. This will help you fine tune the diagnosis. Now since none of us are doctors and we can't diagnose, you'll see a lot of ideas and conversations on here that may or may not apply. With some different diagnosis', stimulants can actually "ratchet up" the bad behavior. My difficult child 1 was on Concerta for 3 years. He was diagnosis'd with Asperger's Syndrome, ADHD and ODD. Blech! :tongue: He was a real joy to live with! (NOT!!!!) Anyway, I insisted that we give it a shot without any concerta, and we saw a vast improvement in the behavior. He's still a demon and is right now taking Oxcarbazipine (for anxiety), but we've seen a real improvement. I'd say make sure that the diagnosis is correct, and then start looking at your options. I admire that you took on such a challenge as well as a really heavy load with the g-ma's! Holy crap! 4 Generations in one household - nothing like feeling like you're under a microscope! Stop in here often, when you get a chance do a profile like the one at the bottom of most of the posts, and make sure that you buzz around the watercooler if you want to goof off or blow off steam~! Again, welcome to the crowd~! Beth [/QUOTE]
