[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 110134, member: 1550"] I don't know what's wrong with your child (nothing listed), but I suspect that there is something wrong or he wouldn't behave that way. I don't think he is "bad." Even if his tantrums are now "different" I don't think he is spoiled or bad because of what he did--it's not the norm for a child to react the way he is. The medications may be taking the edge off, but he's still not stable. Spoiled kids expect lots of things because they are pampered, but that doesn't mean they break a window if they don't get them. My easy child daughter (youngest of five) is very spoiled by her older sibs and us (I admit it), but she would NEVER break anything or throw a tantrum if she didn't get what she wanted. She may pout a little until she was told to stop. Your child is still not a typical child, but I don't buy that he's "bad" either. And he's so young. You can get into tons of trouble for locking a child in his bedroom. If there is a fire...let's just say you'd be investigated by CPS. That's not considered responsible. I would not take Santa away or have Santa bring coal either (agree to disagree) for a little kid who is unstable. I think you did enough in the discipline department, and hope he is being evaluated again soon because he sounds like he could use an evaluation. I recommend a neuropsychologist. They are more intensive in the testing area than Psychiatarists. To me it sounds like a lot more than ADHD and maybe the medications are activating him. Do mood disorders run in the family? If he actually has a mood disorder (not saying he does, but IF he does) stimulants can make him ever wilder.
