[QUOTE="needprayers, post: 375074"] Thanks for the replies :) We had a decent weekend. background on difficult child: No family history of mental illness or substance abuse. the wife had a normal pregnancy with him, normal delivery, no problems during the toddler years. All developmental milestones reached normally. Likes football, playing outside.. Church every week. He has always been the "anti-social" one, but having said that, if another kid initiated the friendship, he is usually quick to respond. It just seems the older he gets, the wrong kind of friends he associates with. We never really saw the depression until these last few months. When he gets down in the dumps at home, its usually after we have chastised him about something or he gets angry about something.. After a couple hours, he's back to normal .. Several times this year he has complained of stomach ache in the morning. I think its stress/problems at school. the Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) said that they would test, and medications could possibly be required, its just too early to tell. She's part of a "group" that also has psychiatrists. We met with school staff today, and told them what all we were doing, and he would be missing some school for his sessions. They were more than supportive. There have not been any "violent" outbursts at school, its all been attention seeking devious behavior, and letting other kids talk him in to doing stuff, like setting off stink bombs. [/QUOTE]
