[QUOTE="SRL, post: 110147, member: 701"] I don't know if you'll read this by the time Christmas is supposed to happen at your house, but I hope you'll reconsider and let your son participate. I just checked back on your old posts and if all you've done in the way of evaluation is what you've reported to us here, in my opinion what your child needs is more in the way of a comprehensive assessment, a medication adjustment, and appropriate treatments. He's already let you know verbally that the medications still aren't right--it's toned the attitude down a little but it obviously hasn't done in terms of correction what the right medication should do. You have gone only a very short way down this path and if your son is raging to this degree, my feeling is that your son needs help--not punishement. Kids who think they can do anything and not suffer the consequences rarely respond to punishments in the unstable state that you are describing. If you haven't picked up a copy of the book, The Explosive Child, I hope you'll do so. I know you probably feel like you've done everything you can for your son, but if your son is raging to this degree he needs an immediate call made to his psychiatrist and a call made to the crisis team if his or other family members safety is threatened. Inpatient care can often take care of medication adjustments in a much shorter time. [/QUOTE]
