[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 545270, member: 3419"] So sorry it got that bad, LovelyBoy. I would do two things. One would be to perhaps place difficult child on a small dose of Adderal (not regular Ritalin; there's a difference). You will know within a few hrs to a cpl of days whether it works. The other is to make sure that he is slowly introduced to loud, crazy situations, including a thorough explanation of what is about to occur. For ex., "Today we are going to have a Birthday ring. That means that all kids who have a birthday get to sit ... where ever ... and everyone sings to them and dances (or whatever). And it can be loud and fun. Are you ready for some noise?" I have no idea what a birthday ring is but at any rate, difficult child needs to be warned, in a nice way, that it will be loud and there will be other kids there and that he needs to just step out, or signal the teacher if he is overwhelmed. They can create a signal between them. Also, if a kid were going to smear snot on me, I'd smash his head into the floor, too! lol! You can sit down with-him when he's calm and ask him to come up with-other ways to deal with-a kid like that, because this will certainly not be the last time. I have no clue as to why someone would put a 4-yr-old on a mood stabilizer unless he's lighting cats on fire or something. [/QUOTE]
